WATCH THE SLOPING BLOCK PLAYLIST
It's true that many in the building industry tend to prioritize level land when it comes to construction. However, in Storybook, we understand that not all land is perfectly level. We embrace natural topography to create unique and visually stunning homes. We don't believe in simply making land level at any cost, even if it means compromising on the aesthetic or functionality of your home. Instead, we take a thoughtful and creative approach to designing homes that harmonize with the surrounding landscape, whether a sloping block with a cliff behind it or a site with varying elevations. Our experienced team will work closely with you to design a home that maximizes the potential of your land, creating a seamless integration between your home and its natural surroundings. Don't settle for a home hidden in a hole or perched awkwardly on a slope - choose Storybook and let us bring your dream home to life, regardless of the land's topography.
At Storybook, we take a completely different approach compared to the majors and unimaginative designers and builders out there. We reject the notion of simply making the land level and instead embrace the natural topography as a source of inspiration. We believe that by sculpting the architecture to the fall of the land, we can achieve superior and more affordable results, even though it may require more creativity in the design process. We aim to minimize site cuts, work harmoniously with the land's natural features, and reduce costs. We understand that excavation costs, drainage requirements, engineered retaining walls, and soil removal can add significant expenses to a project. By working with the existing topography, we can often reduce or eliminate these additional costs, providing our clients with a more efficient and cost-effective solution. When you choose Storybook, you can trust that our experienced team will design a home that complements the land and ensures that your budget is optimized. Let us show you how we can create a remarkable home that harmonizes beautifully with the natural landscape while keeping costs in check.
Our sloping land architecture at Storybook is carefully designed to achieve a range of important objectives:
- Fabulous street appeal: We understand the significance of creating a visually stunning home that stands out in its surroundings. Our designs consider the slope of the land to create a beautiful home that enhances the property's overall appeal.
- Comfortable vehicle access and car accommodation: We prioritize practicality and functionality, ensuring that our designs incorporate easy and convenient access for vehicles, including driveways, parking spaces, and garages. We optimize the use of the available space to accommodate your car parking needs.
- Optimum advantage of views: If your sloping land offers scenic views, we seize the opportunity to maximize the enjoyment of these vistas. Our designs strategically position living areas, windows, and outdoor spaces to capture and showcase the surrounding natural beauty.
- Practical and exciting interior layouts: Our architects are skilled at creating interior layouts that make the most of the sloping land. We design functional and captivating living spaces that take advantage of the site's unique characteristics, ensuring a seamless flow and maximizing the available space.
- Good access to indoor/outdoor living areas and decks: We recognize the importance of seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. Our designs incorporate well-designed access points to outdoor living areas, decks, and gardens, allowing you to enjoy your sloping land and its surroundings fully.
- Comfortable access to garden areas: We prioritize practicality and ease of use when it comes to accessing garden areas on sloping land. We consider the slope in our designs to create safe and convenient pathways and steps that connect different levels of the garden, ensuring comfortable access to gardening and leisure activities.
- Cost efficiencies: Our approach to sloping land architecture is not only focused on aesthetics and functionality but also on cost efficiencies. By working with the natural topography, we aim to minimize the need for extensive earthworks, retaining walls, and other costly interventions, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective construction process.
