Custom Home Design for Steep Blocks in Nundah, Brisbane

Designing and constructing a Split Level Home on a steep and sloping site requires expertise, creativity, and a deep understanding of the terrain. At Building Buddy, we specialize in custom home design and building solutions that transform challenging landscapes into stunning Split Level House Plans.

The Challenge: Overcoming a Steep, Confined Site

Our clients in Nundah, Brisbane faced a significant hurdle: their 10m-wide lot sloped 11m downward over 40.5m, making it difficult to find a builder willing to take on the project. Additionally, the block was built-in on both sides, meaning any construction risked damaging neighboring structural retaining walls.

The Solution: Smart Design for Sloping Land

To address these challenges, we developed a Split Level House Plan that seamlessly integrated with the terrain while maintaining cost efficiency. The design included:

Multi-Level Living – Steps down with the landscape for natural harmony
Cost-Effective Build – Reduces earthworks and excavation costs
Optimized Space – Smart layout for maximum functionality
Dual Occupancy Potential – Option for a Granny Flat under the rear deck (postponed because of fireproofing costs)

The Importance of an Experienced Builder

A steep block demands a trade-based builder who can personally oversee construction and manage unexpected site challenges. Building Buddy's integrated process ensures smooth progress, avoiding delays and costly surprises.
