daytonaHello,
we have a sloped plot with a north-south gradient of 3 meters (10 feet) over a length of 25 meters (82 feet). That corresponds to a slope/incline of 6.8°.
We have not consulted an expert yet but would like to hear your opinions and experiences first. Which construction method would you choose for the ground floor:
1. Level the entire area and build a full ground floor, without piling soil against the house at the highest point (south side)?
2. Level the entire area and build a full ground floor, piling soil against the house at the highest point (south side) for natural insulation?
3. Build a half ground floor up to about the middle of the slope?
4. Build a full ground floor and use stilts or supports to compensate for the slope?
Or is the slope too small to require such considerations?
Thanks and regards

Hello,
if I understand correctly, you are planning to build without a basement?
Given the mentioned slope, I would definitely build with a basement and use the basement on the south side as living space with a terrace, placing a balcony above it on the ground floor. But with a site plan or sketch, you would certainly make it easier for us.

Hello,
I have quickly made a small sketch. The plot is 1,100 sqm (11,840 sq ft) in size and slopes approximately 3 m (10 ft) over 25 m (82 ft) in a north-south direction.
The house is planned without a basement (to save costs), a modern villa about 10 x 10 m (33 x 33 ft). I still need to work on a site plan including the house and garage, but I wanted to check in advance what would make sense.
Thanks

I have the problem with our flat plot of land that a basement simply becomes too large to build economically.
My dream has always been to integrate the garage into the basement. This way, the remaining basement space would be as large as it makes sense. Additionally, you have the option to access the basement at ground level (for the washing machine, etc.), and if you want a workshop, you can locate it next to the garage. This way, the tools are where you need them, and you can create more space by parking the cars outside.
