Stella Latus: A Dual-Volume A-Frame Cabin Kit

Stella Latus is a large prefabricated A-frame cabin kit designed around two connected triangular volumes. This distinctive configuration creates a broader and more varied interior than a conventional single-volume A-frame while preserving the exposed timber structure, tall gallery, and strong architectural identity of the Stella series.

The model provides approximately 87.8 m² / 945 sq ft of total net interior floor area, including a spacious main floor, an enclosed bedroom, a main-floor bathroom, a large upper loft, and an additional bathroom area on the loft level.

Its scale and room separation make Stella Latus suitable for private vacation homes, premium rental cabins, boutique hospitality projects, guest accommodation, and retreat properties that need more space than a compact loft-based A-frame.

Two Connected Triangular Volumes

The defining feature of Stella Latus is its dual A-frame composition. Two triangular structural sections are arranged in sequence to create a cabin with distinct but connected interior zones.

The main triangular volume measures approximately 6.10 × 6.20 m / 20'0" × 20'4". The connected front volume measures approximately 6.10 × 3.99 m / 20'0" × 13'1".

Together, these sections create an overall structural length of approximately 10.19 m / 33'5". The additional volume allows the model to separate the full-height gallery and primary living space from the more private bedroom, bathroom, loft, and circulation areas.

This configuration gives Stella Latus a different architectural character from a standard elongated A-frame. The exterior remains clearly recognizable as an A-frame cabin, but the connected roof forms create greater visual depth and more practical room organization.

A 633 Sq Ft Main Floor

The main floor provides approximately 58.8 m² / 633 sq ft of net interior floor area.

• Main-Floor Net Interior Area: Approximately 58.8 m² / 633 sq ft.
• Overall Net Interior Dimensions: Approximately 5.89 × 9.98 m / 19'4" × 32'9".
• Gallery Living Area: Approximately 22.7 m² / 245 sq ft.
• Main-Floor Bedroom: Approximately 10 m² / 108 sq ft.
• Main-Floor Bathroom: Approximately 6 m² / 65 sq ft.

The remaining main-floor area supports the kitchen, dining arrangement, stairs, circulation, storage, and other project-specific living functions.

The wider plan provides more flexibility for furniture and cabinetry than a narrow conventional A-frame. It also allows the enclosed bedroom and bathroom to remain separate from the full-height gallery and primary living area.

A Full-Height Gallery Living Area

The main living zone occupies approximately 5.89 × 3.86 m / 19'4" × 12'8", providing about 22.7 m² / 245 sq ft of open floor area beneath the tall A-frame volume.

This section forms the architectural center of the cabin. Its open height, exposed timber structure, and broad glazed façade create a substantially different experience from the lower-ceiling areas beneath the loft.

The gallery can accommodate the main seating area and can be visually connected with the kitchen and dining zone. Furniture placement, fireplace or stove location, kitchen configuration, and mechanical systems can be coordinated according to the selected project plan.

The open volume also allows natural light from the main glazing to reach both the lower living area and the upper level.

An Enclosed Main-Floor Bedroom

Stella Latus includes approximately 10 m² / 108 sq ft of enclosed main-floor bedroom space.

Locating an enclosed sleeping room on the lower level makes the model more practical for guests who prefer not to use the stairs. It also provides greater privacy than a cabin that relies entirely on an open sleeping loft.

The room may function as the primary bedroom, guest bedroom, office, or flexible-use room according to the project requirements.

Formal bedroom classification depends on local requirements for emergency egress, window openings, ventilation, heating, minimum dimensions, and ceiling height. Final compliance should be confirmed by the local project team.

A Large 312 Sq Ft Loft Level

The upper level measures approximately 4.60 × 6.30 m / 15'1" × 20'8", providing approximately 29 m² / 312 sq ft of total loft floor area.

• Total Loft-Level Area: Approximately 29 m² / 312 sq ft.
• Net Open Loft Area: Approximately 23 m² / 247 sq ft.
• Loft Bathroom Area: Approximately 6 m² / 65 sq ft.

The 247 sq ft open section can be arranged as an additional sleeping area, upper lounge, office, reading room, or flexible family space.

The loft is substantially larger than the compact sleeping platforms used in smaller A-frame models. Its broader dimensions allow more practical furniture placement and greater separation between the sleeping and circulation areas.

Whether the open loft can be described as a legal bedroom depends on local requirements for emergency egress, guards, ceiling clearances, ventilation, heating, and occupancy.

Bathroom Space on Both Levels

Stella Latus provides space for a bathroom on the main floor and an additional bathroom area within the loft level.

• Main-Floor Bathroom: Approximately 6 m² / 65 sq ft.
• Loft Bathroom: Approximately 6 m² / 65 sq ft.

This arrangement supports family use, longer stays, and rental accommodation for several guests. It also creates a clearer separation between the lower-floor bedroom and upper sleeping or living area.

Bathroom fixtures, plumbing routes, wet-area waterproofing, ventilation, water heating, and final finishes are coordinated locally according to the selected layout and applicable building requirements.

Approximately 945 Sq Ft of Net Interior Space

Stella Latus provides approximately 87.8 m² / 945 sq ft of total net interior floor area across the main floor and loft.

• Main Floor: Approximately 58.8 m² / 633 sq ft.
• Loft Level: Approximately 29 m² / 312 sq ft.
• Total Net Interior Area: Approximately 87.8 m² / 945 sq ft.

The deck is reported separately and is not included in the 945 sq ft net interior figure.

Open gallery volume is also not counted as additional floor area. The published interior figure represents usable floor surfaces on the main and loft levels rather than the total enclosed building volume.

Structural Dimensions and Overall Height

The connected A-frame structure creates a long but relatively narrow building footprint.

• Overall Structural Frame: Approximately 6.10 × 10.19 m / 20'0" × 33'5".
• Structural Footprint: Approximately 62.2 m² / 669 sq ft.
• Main Triangular Frame: Approximately 6.10 × 6.20 m / 20'0" × 20'4".
• Front Triangular Frame: Approximately 6.10 × 3.99 m / 20'0" × 13'1".
• Overall Exterior Height: Approximately 6.65 m / 21'10".

The stated dimensions refer to the primary structural frame. Exterior cladding, roof build-up, eaves, foundation edges, and project-specific details may extend beyond the structural footprint.

Final foundation dimensions and anchor positions should always be based on the current production drawings rather than preliminary website figures.

A 322 Sq Ft L-Shaped Deck

Stella Latus includes a substantial L-shaped deck providing approximately 29.9 m² / 322 sq ft of outdoor floor area.

Unlike a simple rectangular front deck, the L-shaped arrangement extends along two connected sides of the cabin. This creates multiple outdoor zones and strengthens the connection between the gallery, entrance, private rooms, and surrounding site.

The deck can be organized for outdoor seating, dining, entrance circulation, or separate guest-use areas. Its final relationship with the building will depend on the site orientation, views, access route, and landscaping plan.

Because the deck has an irregular L-shaped form, its area is used as the primary specification rather than presenting it as an equivalent rectangular dimension.

The deck is not included in the 945 sq ft net interior area.

Large Glazing and a Distinctive Exterior Form

The connected triangular façades and tall glazed sections give Stella Latus a more complex appearance than a conventional single-volume A-frame.

Large fixed glazing areas bring daylight into the gallery and maintain a strong visual connection between the cabin, deck, and surrounding landscape. Operable windows and exterior doors provide ventilation and access according to the selected configuration.

The two roof volumes create changing ceiling heights and interior perspectives as occupants move through the cabin. This makes the layout feel like a sequence of connected spaces rather than one uninterrupted rectangular room.

The exact glazing package is defined in the quotation and may include dual-pane tempered, tinted, or Low-E glass according to the destination, climate, and project requirements.

Designed for Larger Single-Unit Projects

Stella Latus is primarily intended for projects that prioritize interior space, architectural character, and room separation rather than maximizing the number of cabins within one shipping container.

Because of its structural length and material volume, one standard Stella Latus kit is generally planned around one 40-foot high-cube container.

The final shipment arrangement depends on the selected glazing, insulation, prefabricated floor system, hardwood flooring, kitchen package, assembly hardware, exterior options, total shipment weight, and approved loading plan.

Container packing must also consider the unloading and assembly sequence. Long structural members, roofing materials, façade components, loft elements, deck materials, and interior parts are organized so the local crew can unload and separate them by construction stage.

A More Complete Standard Cabin Kit

Stella Latus is supplied as a comprehensive prefabricated timber cabin kit rather than a basic frame-only A-frame package.

A substantial portion of the structural cutting, component preparation, wall production, roof detailing, joinery planning, deck production, and assembly coordination is completed at the factory before shipment.

Depending on the confirmed quotation and current project configuration, the standard Stella Latus kit may include:

• Factory-cut and labeled structural timber components
• Main and front A-frame posts, beams, rafters, and structural frames
• Model-specific steel plates, connectors, and structural details
• Exterior wall framing and cladding components
• Interior bedroom and bathroom partition components
• Loft structure and solid wood loft-floor components
• Stair stringers, treads, railings, and related timber components
• Roof underlayment or roof-decking boards
• Roof moisture-control membrane and roof build-up components
• Model-specific metal roofing sheets and standard roof trims
• Insulated aluminum operable-window joinery
• Insulated aluminum exterior-door joinery
• Fixed-window framing and timber trim components
• Solid wood interior doors and door/window casings
• L-shaped deck structure, flooring, posts, and railing components
• Model-specific architectural, production, and assembly documents
• Export packaging and container-loading preparation

Glazing, insulation materials, prefabricated floor systems, kitchen components, assembly hardware, and other selected materials are supplied according to the package confirmed in the project quotation.

The final quotation and order documents remain the controlling references for the exact materials included with an individual order.

Available Options and Project Upgrades

Stella Latus can be configured with additional factory packages according to the intended use, climate, foundation approach, finish level, and destination.

Common optional packages may include:

• Dual-pane tempered glazing package
• Low-E glazing upgrade
• Prefabricated timber crawl-floor system
• Solid hardwood main-floor finish package
• Kitchen cabinet and countertop package
• General assembly hardware package
• Insulation materials selected for the project climate
• Increased wall or roof insulation cavities
• Alternative exterior cladding and finish selections
• Extended decks, exterior stairs, porches, or landing components

Selected options may affect structural details, interior dimensions, shipment weight, container packing, production cost, and assembly sequence. The required configuration should therefore be established before final production and loading plans are issued.

Climate and Building-Envelope Planning

The Stella Latus wall, roof, floor, glazing, and mechanical specifications can be coordinated toward different climate zones and energy-performance targets.

Final performance depends on the complete building envelope, including insulation continuity, air sealing, glazing performance, thermal bridging, ventilation, solar exposure, roof build-up, floor construction, and HVAC design.

The large glazed areas may require higher-performance glass, solar-control measures, shading, or additional heating and cooling capacity depending on the project location.

Structural and envelope modifications can also affect connection details, timber sizes, shipment volume, room dimensions, and pricing. Final compliance should be confirmed through local architectural, structural, and energy review.

Factory Preparation and On-Site Assembly

Stella Latus components are cut, prepared, grouped, and labeled before shipment. This reduces the amount of structural measuring, timber cutting, material identification, and component sorting required at the site.

Model-specific production and assembly drawings establish a planned sequence for the two structural volumes, exterior walls, bedroom, bathrooms, loft, stairs, roof, glazing, joinery, and L-shaped deck.

Because Stella Latus is a large and architecturally complex model, assembly requires an appropriately sized local crew, accurate foundation work, lifting equipment, organized unloading, weather protection, and practical site access.

Actual assembly time depends on crew size, experience, foundation accuracy, weather, equipment, selected options, and the intended completion stage. It should not be represented as a fixed number of days for every project.

The photographs and videos presented on the page can be used to demonstrate the timber structure, connected A-frame geometry, assembly sequence, and possible completed appearance of the model.

Items and Services Arranged Locally

SolidCabin supplies the prefabricated cabin kit rather than turnkey construction outside its domestic market. Site-specific work is normally coordinated by the buyer through local contractors, engineers, suppliers, and licensed trades.

Locally arranged work generally includes:

• Land survey, site preparation, excavation, drainage, and access
• Foundation engineering and foundation construction
• Local architectural and structural review
• Permit applications and required professional stamps
• On-site assembly labor and lifting equipment
• Insulation installation when not included in the ordered package
• Air sealing and project-specific envelope completion
• Electrical, plumbing, ventilation, and HVAC systems
• Utility, water, septic, and drainage connections
• Wet-area waterproofing, tile, and bathroom completion
• Appliances, sanitary fixtures, lighting, and final decoration
• Landscaping, exterior paths, and other site improvements

The local project team should confirm room classification, emergency egress, ceiling clearances, stairs, guards, structural loads, foundation conditions, energy requirements, fire safety, setbacks, site access, and permit requirements before manufacturing begins.

Best Suited to Premium Private and Hospitality Projects

Stella Latus is best suited to projects that need more interior separation and architectural variety than a compact single-volume A-frame can provide.

Typical applications include private vacation homes, premium rental cabins, boutique resorts, nature hotels, guest accommodation, retreat properties, farm stays, vineyard accommodation, and larger individual hospitality units.

Its principal advantages are the connected dual A-frame structure, approximately 945 sq ft of net interior space, a 633 sq ft main floor, a 312 sq ft loft level, bathroom space on both levels, a full-height gallery, and a substantial 322 sq ft L-shaped deck.

Projects requiring a broader three-bedroom-style main-floor layout may also compare Stella Latus with the Stella Magna 110 A-frame cabin kit . Stella Latus provides a narrower and more linear plan, while Magna 110 provides a wider main-floor configuration with two enclosed lower-floor bedrooms.

The final quotation should confirm the current layout, glazing package, insulation target, floor system, selected options, foundation approach, delivery destination, and intended construction schedule.
