Cabin models for Colorado: ten plans across three families
Every model below is a design, not a completed project. Specifications come from the available drawings and verified source data; where a figure has not been verified, the field says so instead of guessing. No prices are published — a meaningful number depends on your property and scope.

A dash means the field is not published for that model; “Confirm with A-Hut” means the figure is still being verified against the drawing.

A-Frame
The A-Frame family takes one structural idea — a steep roof carried to the ground — and scales it across four plans, from a 450 sq ft one-bedroom retreat to a 1,000 sq ft two-bedroom layout. Each model pairs a tall glazed gable end with a compact, efficient footprint and a loft-level second floor.

Barn
The Barn family spans the widest range in the A-Hut lineup — from a 176 sq ft compact structure to a 3,150 sq ft layout. The shared language is a simple gable volume, vertical siding, and full-height openings that read as barn doors rather than punched windows.
