Build

Dear Home Building Enthusiast,

Building on a sloping block comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Often, it’ll allow you to enjoy benefits like higher elevation, better views and more natural light but you may also have to contend with greater exposure to the elements and a more complex build overall.

This edition, our featured blog looks at homes that have been built on some of the steepest blocks imaginable – cliff faces! We've also got a heap of content on dealing with sloping blocks, building orientation and a whole lot more.

Happy reading!
