A-frame as an Additional Dwelling Unit
An Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) is more than just an extension of your property — it’s a smart, flexible way to add value, create income, or support family living.
Whether you’re building a granny flat, guest house, home office, or rental unit, Avrame’s A-frame kits offer a stylish, cost-effective, and easy-to-build solution.
Compact, efficient, and architecturally striking, these homes turn underused land into something truly valuable.
Why Build an ADU?
ADUs have become one of the most practical and popular ways to expand living space without taking on a major construction project. They fit right into urban backyards, rural properties, or holiday lots — all while keeping costs and maintenance low.

An A-frame ADU gives you freedom — in design, use, and future planning.
The A-frame Advantage for ADUs
A-frame structures bring simplicity, durability, and timeless design to the world of additional dwellings.
They’re easy to assemble, energy-efficient, and built to last — all while offering the unique architectural character that traditional backyard units often lack. It’s the perfect blend of form, function, and flexibility.
Why A-frame ADUs stand out:
- Compact footprint: Ideal for limited backyard space
- Quick assembly: Prefab kit construction shortens build time
- Low maintenance: Durable, weather-resistant design
- Sustainable choice: Energy-efficient and eco-friendly materials
- Adaptable size range: From tiny guest cabins to two-story living units
Common Uses for A-frame ADUs
An ADU can take many forms — and with Avrame, the possibilities are open-ended.
Popular applications include:
- Granny flats or annexes – independent yet nearby living for relatives
- Rental units or Airbnb cabins – generate extra income from your property
