Soleta Gabrielle sits on a moderately sloped plot at the top of a hill, with panoramic views over the city. The requirement to use it as a permanent residence — not merely a holiday home — shaped the brief from the outset.
The slope was resolved through a split-level section that follows the terrain without significant excavation. Ground screws provided a precise, low-impact foundation with minimal earthworks.
The panoramic orientation to the city was balanced against privacy requirements and solar performance — the glazing strategy is calibrated to capture views without sacrificing thermal comfort.
Challenge
A moderately sloped plot on top of a hill, with panoramic views over the city and the requirement to be used as a permanent residence.
Approach
Split-level section following the terrain. Ground screws for low-impact foundation. Glazing calibrated for panoramic views balanced against solar performance and privacy.
Outcome
Permanent residence quality achieved on a hillside plot. Minimal site disturbance. Panoramic views preserved from all principal living spaces.
- Hillside split-level — ground screws, zero excavation
- Panoramic city views from all principal spaces
- Permanent residence standard on a holiday-category site
