A structurally engineered, highly detailed scale-model and architectural prototype of an off-grid lofted A-frame cabin. This design features a multiple-skid foundation system constructed from pressure-treated lumber, robust floor framing, a classic steep-pitch A-frame rafter system with integrated loft joists, tension-counteracting collar ties, and structural plywood gussets. This plan is fully optimized to resist high-moisture lakeside environmental loads and wind shear while maintaining precise, locked overall dimensions.
