Building on a hillside comes with unique challenges, but the results are worth it! Careful planning and engineering ensure this home is both stable and offers amazing views. Excited to see it come together!
Rather than cut and do huge earth works that potentially destabilize the slope, mess with the neighbours and the water flow over the site, point loads with only a few engineered points can be safer. Admittedly dramatic but clear examples below. These are both on the mud hills of earethquake prone LA. Both are over 60 years old.
