We have a sloped plot and have planned a living basement, which will have floor-to-ceiling windows on the downhill side.
Would you recommend building a basement or a slab foundation with slope stabilization for this kind of incline?
Our current building footprint is 9.12m (30 feet) by 8.5m (28 feet).
There is a slope of about 1.8m (6 feet) over the 8.5m (28 feet) length.
I have attached the survey results (plot 1295) with the elevation profile and our thoughts on the house placement.
Basically, we would prefer to build larger on a slab foundation with a wood frame structure and avoid a concrete basement.
I’m looking forward to your ideas.
The soil report is unfortunately still in progress.
P.S.
The civil engineer would recommend a basement, but I would probably say the same in his position.
