The A‑Frame

A-Frame renovation in Bucks County, PA

A focused renovation opened the kitchen, brightened the main floor, and preserved the warm architectural character that first drew the clients to the home.

Project Story

A brighter main floor shaped around light, function, and the home’s original frame.

The kitchen served as the primary focus of this Bucks County A-frame renovation. The original space felt closed off and dark, with a countertop pushed against the angled wall and limited headroom for one of the taller clients.

Fell & Co removed interior walls, repositioned the counter, added lighting and updated appliances, and replaced large off-white tile with light maple engineered hardwood. Beyond the kitchen, a new window-paneled door and custom slat railings helped light, views, and movement carry through the main floor.

The kitchen was opened up and reworked to feel brighter, more functional, and better connected to the rest of the main floor.

Entry area with window-paneled door, pale wood floor, dresser, and A-frame wall — A new window-paneled entry door brings more daylight into the main floor and improves the connection to the driveway.

Track lighting mounted along the vaulted A-frame wood ceiling — Track lighting was added along the vaulted ceiling to brighten the interior while keeping the original wood architecture visually dominant.

A-frame living room seating area with green sofa, wood ceiling, and globe light fixture — Warm wood, green upholstery, and lighter flooring create a softer palette that reflects the home’s natural surroundings.

Open main floor with kitchen island, living area, tall windows, and A-frame ceiling — Removing central walls opened the main floor, allowing light, views, and movement to carry through the kitchen and living spaces.

Overhead view of green sofa, lounge chair, round coffee table, and pale wood flooring — The new maple engineered hardwood flooring replaced large off-white tile with a warmer, more organic surface.

Kitchen island repositioned away from the angled A-frame wall with stools and white cabinetry — Repositioning the countertop away from the angled wall created better head clearance and a more comfortable work zone.

Kitchen counter and sconce detail beneath the sloped wood A-frame wall — Sconces and updated finishes bring warmth to the kitchen while supporting the home’s clean, natural palette.

A-frame kitchen with updated range, cabinetry, tile backsplash, and work surfaces — Updated appliances and cabinetry give the kitchen a more cohesive, practical layout.

Range and white cabinetry detail in the renovated A-frame kitchen — Simple, bright materials keep the kitchen functional without competing with the A-frame’s wood structure.

Kitchen counter tucked beneath angled wood wall with stool and trailing plant — The revised counter placement makes better use of the angled architecture while preserving openness.

Secondary lounge with sofa, coffee table, black fireplace, and framed artwork — Beyond the main A-frame volume, furnishings were selected to create comfortable everyday rooms with a calm, collected feel.

Custom slat wall and railing beside the stair in stained wood — Custom slat walls replaced enclosed stair walls, opening views through the center of the home.

Stained wood railing and slat detail along the stair opening — The new railing design adds architectural continuity while allowing more light to move through the stair area.

Stained slat railing above white kitchen cabinetry and a plant — The stained slat railing was designed to coordinate with the existing wood decking throughout the home.

Design Notes

The renovation brings the kitchen, stair, flooring, and daylight into one clearer composition.

Each intervention supports the way the clients live in the house now: more comfortable kitchen work zones, better storage, a brighter main floor, and architectural details that feel connected to the home’s original wood-lined frame.
