Hillside Home Plans

Hillside home plans are specifically designed to adapt to sloping or rugged building sites. Whether the terrain slopes from front to back, back to front or side to side, a hillside home design often provides buildable solutions for even the most challenging lot. One common benefit of hillside house plans is the walk-out or daylight basement. Because the slope of the lot often exposes a portion of the lower level, basement walls can accommodate more windows, providing a lighter, brighter environment. If you're planning to build a walk-out basement, consider constructing 9-foot-high foundation walls to enhance this "upper-level" feel.
