Click to view this Hillside Home PlanHillside homes 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 a Hillside home 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.

A wrap porch shelters the front door leading to a roomy foyer with a handy coat closet. The central fireplace could be finished in stone to maintain a rustic mountain side atmosphere.
