Classic Gambrel Style For The Most Efficient Use of Space
The gambrel roof is the characteristic element of this cabin which is also known as a “barn-style” roof. Besides looking very attractive, this kind of architecture makes it possible to have much more headroom on the upper level than regular gable roofs, which effectively converts the second floor into very functional living space.
The steep lower roof slope combined with a shallower upper slope forms a pretty silhouette that is definitely fitting for rural, forest or lakeside surroundings
The gambrel roof in combination with a 24 by 32-foot layout will give a generous floor space both indoors and outdoors. The cabin will be delivered as a weather-tight shell with an unfinished interior, so that the owners will have full freedom to determine later the final floor plan and the finishes. This method makes it possible to save time and money now and personalize a bit later.
Huge Wraparound Porches for Outdoor Enjoyment
Actually, the most attractive thing about this cabin is the 8-foot-wide wraparound porch on all 4 sides through which the cabin’s living area is substantially increased.

The porches also function well as storage places of the outdoor equipment, furniture and seasonal items.
