Opportunities
Architectural Design
There are a number of challenges that need to be overcome when creating house designs for steep, sloping blocks. Beyond the obvious engineering challenges that come from creating a level home on a sloping site, there is also the matter of cost. Understandably homes built on sloping blocks are often more expensive than homes built on a level surface.
But steep and sloping blocks and sloping sites also represent opportunities to create unique homes with features that other homes will never have. No two sloping block house designs are the same. Each block is different as are the needs of the owners. The key is to work with an architect that knows how to take advantage of these opportunities to create a stunning, functional home with high future resale value. Whether it’s cutting and filling on a moderate sloping site or building a raised home, or creating pavilions which mould with the contours of the land, we will create a stunning design that blends seamlessly with its surrounding space.
