Homes For Sloping Sites

A Design showcase of Anstey Homes’ Design solutions for sites that slope upwards from the street.

The reality is that nearly every sloping site will need its own solution because every slope is different, different grades of slope, different cross falls, different orientation, different aspect, and views.

The underlying geotechnical properties of the site (soils, bearing capacity, compaction, rock, stability, reactivity) will determine the type of structure that we can design on the site and the types of footings and the depth of cuts.

On top of that, each council has its own regulations: Driveway grades, Side boundary setbacks (calculated at differing heights), Maximum Cut / Fill depths, and the overall Height of buildings (either from finished ground or natural level). Even the number of floors is defined in different ways that can see subfloor areas defined as floors.

The good news is Anstey Homes been designing and building on sloping sites for over 30 years and we are getting rather good at it.

First and foremost, we offer an analysis of site potential for you, prior to your purchasing a Lot.

(Anstey Homes recommends purchasing any Lot subject to a satisfactory Geotech report)

Then when you have secured your land and after a design consultation, we will prepare a Massing or Draft Plan designed to meet the sites potential as well as your budget and wish list. This remains our copyright, but no fee is payable by you to reach this point. We may need you to pay a surveyor for an accurate contour plan suitable for CAD design, but this survey will be yours to keep and will be needed to base plans on for any council application.

Anstey Homes is a ‘Bespoke’ Design and Construction Company that has, since its genesis in 1989, been recognized with multiple Housing Awards for consistent, High Quality Construction and outstanding attention to detail.

The Sampling here is to show the breadth of possibility, to show that we have the expertise to bring your dream to reality.
