The Sloping Site Specialists for Upslope House Designs

Montgomery Homes are passionate about designing and building homes that balance beauty with practicality, even if you own a challenging block. As the sloping site specialists, Montgomery Homes have curated a suite of split-level floorplans including upward sloping block house designs, as well as downhill and sideways sloping designs. Even if your block is an unusual shape, we have creative solutions for you.

Every block of land is individual, from slope to terrain to condition and we have been refining our sloping site techniques over 30 years of industry experience to maximise outlooks, natural light and ventilation for your new home. Taking into consideration the individual specifications of the site involves implementation of the Montgomery Homes bearers and joists technique and split-slab technique – allowing your home to caress the natural slope of the land. Building a home that complements the sloping nature of the site will avoid excessive excavation and the need to dig deep into the land to place a flat, one level slab.

Montgomery Homes renowned sloping site techniques can result in flatter driveways, more manageable retaining walls, and will drastically improve your street appeal. Such benefits will continue to flourish for years to come, avoiding the risk of drainage and landscaping challenges.

How we make uphill slope house plans more affordable

For three decades, we’ve been building a strong reputation as the sloping site specialists. Now, we’ve perfected the art of building an uphill house design and built thousands of homes for families, couples, investors, and individuals with big dreams throughout the state.

With our customer’s budgets in mind, we’ve developed a unique split-level building technique to minimise site and excavation costs. When building on a sloping site, most home builders cut deep into the land to make room for the new home design. However, this often requires large, expensive retaining walls.

At Montgomery Homes, we follow the contour of the land to minimise excavation and use the loose soil to create the foundation for your new home. This reduces the need for excessive retaining walls and keeps costs low, leaving more room in your budget for the little things like decorating, upgrades, and landscaping.

Breathtaking upslope house designs and a lifetime of benefits

In contrast to standard level home designs, uphill slope house plans often have a tiered, step-like or split design which creates a spacious, open plan atmosphere. Uphill house designs can also offer luxurious high ceilings - so much extra space to grow, decorate, and impress your guests!

Need some inspiration for building on an uphill sloping block? If your block slopes upwards from the road, consider placing the garage on the lower level and incorporating a balcony or an enchanting deck so you can take in the view. At Montgomery Homes, we’ll make sure to maintain the incredible view from your sloping block.

Watch the sunset from the window or “wow” guests from the balcony. You’ll have your own private paradise with our uphill slope house plans.
