Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of a split-level house?
Split-level homes are the ideal solution for sloping blocks, allowing you to maximise your land’s natural gradient rather than relying on costly excavation. Thoughtfully designed split-level and double storey homes work harmoniously with the slope, creating a home that flows with the land while providing functional living spaces that capture views and natural light.
Excavation can be a significant expense on sloping sites. By designing a home that works with the natural contour of your block, rather than trying to flatten it, you can reduce construction costs while achieving a home that is both practical and visually striking. Split-level and multi-level designs take advantage of the slope, turning challenging terrain into a unique feature of your home.
Can I build on a sloping block?
Yes, you can build on a sloping block, and split-level homes are an ideal way to maximise your land. A sloping block can influence the style of home you can build, as well as your landscaping and outdoor spaces. Before purchasing, it’s important to consider your lifestyle needs, the way you want to use your outdoor areas, and how your home will interact with the natural slope of your block.
Thoughtful design allows you to take full advantage of your sloping block, creating functional living spaces, maximising views with tri level designs, and maintaining seamless indoor-outdoor flow all while minimising unnecessary excavation and costs.
Why build on a sloping block?
If you live in a hilly area, finding a flat block can be challenging. Many homeowners choose a sloping block instead, attracted by expansive views, natural seclusion, or the character of earthen walls. When paired with the right split-level or tri-level house design, a sloping block can become the foundation for a home as unique as the land itself and its owners.
Sloping blocks are ideal for those seeking something out of the ordinary. With careful design, these sites can be transformed into homes that maximise the natural slope, capture views, and create functional indoor and outdoor spaces—all while maintaining architectural impact and style.
What type of sloped blocks can you build on?
There are four main types of sloping blocks:
-Sloping up: the low point is at the road
-Sloping down: the high point is at the road
-Cross fall: the slope runs from right to left, or vice versa
-Cross fall with sloping: a combination of the above
Split-level homes on a downward-sloping block have different design and construction considerations compared to homes on an upward-sloping block. If the gradient is gentle, however, the slope may only have a minor impact on your home’s design.
Regardless of the type or steepness of your slope, we can design and build split-level, tri-level, or double-storey homes that suit your block and your lifestyle. Our expertise ensures your home works with the land, maximises views, and makes the most of your site’s unique characteristics.
