Portland, OR, USA / Built in 1961
"Why don't we move to LA...?" In those days when Anna and Srijon were enjoying that kind of conversation, a FB advertisement for an A-frame house in their area popped up in front of her. It had been waiting for her just ten minutes away. Even though it was her first time seeing an A-frame house, at the very first sight, she could tell that this place would treat her soul better than any other. She found her "home" just ten minutes away by car, not in LA. Srijon was surprised at first but now he loves their home, too.

In 1961, when this A-frame house was built, it was probably still surrounded by forest.
The local art school students were welcomed to join in its planning.
What a nice story!

The entrance led me to the living room. I couldn't help but start the interview right away because of my excitement to see the very spacious room. Anna with her four-month daughter, Inez answered my questions first. Inez, rounding her beautiful big eyes stayed calm throughout the interview as if she also welcomed us. She also joined us sometimes by raising her voice happily.

"Space" - Anna needed no time to answer my question "What do you like about your A-frame?" She felt as if she lived in nature thanks to the big front window. Her greenery grows well inside all year around with the sunlight. Srijon who also teaches art at a local school loves the A-framed living room the most and often works here.

Everything - the roof, walls, windows, and fireplace - was original but the inside was in poor shape. They turned each problem into a fun family project, repairing the floor and painting the walls of its additions...

After spending a good time interviewing Anna, finally I got ready for a tour. It was very kind of Srijon to take me for a tour with care after having given one for my husband already. How spacious their A-frame house was! It was 3,200 square feet on 1.5 acres of land. Their A-frame makes not only Anna who owns a pretty online boutique satisfied with its space but also does so for her two teenaged daughters. A-frame houses are not only for minimalists if you have some good additions. By the way, Srijon, an artist has his own studio to concentrate on his work and an art gallery that half is used for chickens. He welcomes visitors to his exhibition at his gallery "Chicken Coop Contemporary" once a month.

ã A Message from Anna to youã
Something unique like an A-frame house encourages your self expression. It's an extension of you because you are unique.
