Building on sloping lots presents unique challenges, but with the right expertise, it can lead to breathtaking results. At Building Buddy, we specialize in custom Sloping Lot House Plans and understand the nuances of designing homes that harmonize with uneven terrain.
Nestled in the tranquil surroundings of Brighton, an outer suburb of Brisbane, this stunning lowset home built on stumps embraces the natural landscape. With its position overlooking Bald Hills Creek, the property presented a gentle yet significant 3m fall across the block.
Rather than resorting to excessive cut and fill, we opted for a concrete slab foundation, extending a suspended timber deck over the bulk of the fall. This innovative approach minimized excavation, controlled costs, and created a seamless transition between the home and its riverside setting.
“The result? A spectacular lowset home with panoramic views, functional elegance, and a natural rustic charm.”
Constructing a Split-Level Home requires careful planning. Through our custom home design process, our expert building designers ensure every detail complements the topography of the site. Here’s how we made this Brighton home work:
Minimal excavation – reducing disturbance to the land
Smart foundation strategy – optimizing a concrete slab where necessary
Suspended timber deck – allowing the design to flow with the landscape
Integrated project management – ensuring efficiency from concept to completion
Our building consultants worked closely with our drafting services to refine the design before our trade-based builders executed the project flawlessly.

A Sloping Lot House Plan is a custom design tailored for land that isn't perfectly level. Instead of excessive excavation, these homes utilize smart solutions like split-level designs or homes built on stumps to embrace the natural slope.
Split-level homes are ideal for sloping blocks because they:
Minimize ground disturbance and excavation
Optimize natural airflow and light
Reduce retaining wall costs
Provide unique architectural appeal
We designed a custom home plan that minimized cut-and-fill by using a concrete slab foundation and a suspended timber deck to bridge the remaining fall. This approach maintained the natural beauty of the Bald Hills Creek site while controlling construction costs.
When designing for sloping blocks, key considerations include:
Site topography and fall level
Drainage and water flow management
Foundation type (slab vs. stumps)
Access to the property and council regulations
Maximizing views and livability
