A-Frame Plans
A-Frame house plans for Kenyan sites
We are developing a curated collection of A-Frame plans prepared for Kenyan conditions — from compact Airbnb cabins to family homes and multi-unit hospitality concepts. While the first plans are being finalised, you can already explore the collection, request a custom design, or talk to us about building.
Our first Crafty A-Frame plans are in development
In developmentWe would rather publish a few well-engineered plans than a catalogue of sketches. Each collection below is being prepared for real Kenyan sites — the first published plans will drop straight into this page.
One-bedroom retreats
Full A-Frame homes with a proper bedroom, kitchen and bath — sized for a couple or solo escape.
Two-bedroom holiday homes
Family-scale A-Frames, typically using a loft plus ground-floor bedroom to keep the footprint tight.
Family A-Frames
Larger layouts for regular living, with storage, services and thermal comfort designed in from the start.
Hospitality & multi-unit concepts
Coordinated designs for lodges and cabin parks — shared facilities, phased builds and consistent identity.
What To Expect
Every published plan will be a working document
- ✦ Floor layouts with indicative dimensions and area in m²
- ✦ Elevations showing the A-Frame form, glazing and deck options
- ✦ Bedroom, bathroom, loft and deck specifications
- ✦ Intended use — Airbnb, retreat, holiday home or family living
- ✦ Indicative construction cost range for Kenyan conditions
- ✦ A clear list of what is included, and what is not
Site-specific structural engineering and county approvals are always separate steps — a plan is a starting point, and we are clear about that.

Plans FAQs
When will the first plans be released?
Our first plans are currently in development. The collection grows progressively — each plan is prepared for Kenyan conditions and priced honestly when published. Ask us to notify you and you will hear from us the moment a plan goes live.
Can I request a custom A-Frame design instead of waiting?
Yes. A custom design is often the better route when you already own land or have specific use in mind. We design around your actual site, views and budget rather than a catalogue layout.
What will each plan include?
Published plans will include floor layouts, elevations, indicative dimensions, a specification summary and indicative construction cost guidance. Engineering for your specific site remains a separate, necessary step.
Do you build the plan I purchase?
Yes. Purchasing a plan and building it with us are complementary — most customers start with a concept plan and then request a build estimate for their site.
