ᐅ Plot on a gentle slope with bay windows (or window bays)

Hello everyone,

we are building on a 570sqm (6138 sq ft) plot with a slight slope (south-facing hillside) (approximately 17m (56 ft) wide, approximately 34m (112 ft) deep). It will be a house with three gables. The longer side of the house faces the shorter side of the plot. Is it possible to build the bay window of the house towards the slope (i.e., to the rear), or would that be problematic?

Thank you and best regards

The drawing does not look like a “gentle slope” to me. You would have to fill the plot with several meters of soil.

Best regards
Sabine

That’s just my drawing skills… It’s not that steep.

perhaps more like this...

South-facing slope... a slope is where the terrain drops off.
According to the drawing, do you want the third gable facing the uphill side?

With a good foundation or excavation of the area, almost anything is possible – although it doesn't always look very good.
In this case, based on this drawing, I would say: the wrong house on this plot.

You are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole here.

Yes, we wanted the third gable at the back because the garden is going there... Hmm, then we need to come up with a better plan for the plot. Any ideas? 🙂
