Hillside Timber House

A stepped house on a steep site, with a single sweeping roof gathering three levels beneath it.

This concept explores how a single, generous roof can tie a sloping site together. Each level steps with the hill to reduce excavation, and the structure is a simple repeated timber-and-concrete frame.

The challenge

A 1-in-3 slope and heavy monsoon rainfall.

Our response

Stepped floor plates on retaining walls and a single-pitch roof with oversized gutters.
