How we make house designs on hill slopes beautiful and more affordable

We’re committed to making the home building experience fun and affordable, so our experienced team will make sure to stick to your budget - without compromising on the dream!

Through our ingenious downhill slope house plans, we minimise the cost of the excavation which is often needed for sloping blocks. Rather than cutting deep into the block like most builders do, we follow the natural contour of the land and then use the excavated soil to level the land and make way for your new home. This reduces the need for expensive retaining walls and potential drainage issues when it storms.

Over the years, we’ve perfected the split level home building process, so you’re guaranteed to get an elegant and cost efficient home build. With less excavation and retaining walls comes a more affordable house design on a hill slope - there’s a reason we’re called the sloping site specialists!

Elegant designs perfect for a house on a downhill slope

The major benefit of downhill slope house plans is the unique architectural design. In contrast to a standard level home design, downhill sloping homes have a tiered “step” or “split” design, separating each level of the house and creating a more spacious atmosphere. Plus, downward sloping block house designs often have luxurious high ceilings and a stunning grand entrance which will be sure to impress guests with an immediate “wow” factor upon entering your home.

You won’t soon forget the incredible view from the windows and balconies, either. If your block slopes downwards from the road, our split level home designs will complement the downhill nature of the block and leverage potential views and natural breezes.

We’ll maximise views from the hill or sloping block where we’ve built, so you can kick back, relax, and admire the neighbourhood from your private paradise.

How we approach sloping sites

We start with the land, not against it. Every down slope design responds to the natural contour of your block, so the home settles into the site rather than fighting it — the foundation of a build that is both beautiful and cost efficient.

Benefits of a stepped slab

A stepped slab lets each level of the home follow the fall of the land, reducing excavation and retaining while opening up soaring ceilings, dramatic entries and generous, light-filled living spaces.

Take full advantage of the unique character and opportunity of your downhill sloping site

Downhill designs

For blocks that fall away from the road, our split level designs complement the downhill nature of the site and leverage potential views and natural breezes from every window and balcony.

Uphill designs

Where the land rises from the street, we use the elevation to create striking street presence and clever entry sequences that make the most of the climb.

Sideways designs

For cross-falling blocks, our sideways-slope designs step across the site to keep living zones connected while working with the lateral fall of the land.
