The Longhouse Dogtrot 3.0

24″x36″ PDF Construction Drawing Set (PDF download only)

The 3-bedroom Longhouse Dogtrot utilizes the same design inspiration as the two-bedroom, but with a little more heated volume, an added bedroom and three storage loft areas (one loft per bedroom space). The flexibility of the three bedroom configuration allows for separate living quarters for up to two groups of guests, or a segregation into either divided or connected studio spaces, workshops, offices, or media rooms. The vaulted ceilings make this 1600 square feet feel much more spacious.

The Swedes first brought the tradition of building log cabins to the United States and one popular way of adding space to early log cabins was to build a separate log cabin next to the original cabin with gables aligned some set distance away. The intervening space between the cabins was then roofed over and made a covered porch space. They perform particularly well in hot climates where the shaded dogtrot area promotes natural convective airflow ventilating the adjacent interior spaces.
