Residential Dwelling on Steep Slopes

Project Details

This client was looking to build a two-storey home on a steep, tricky site — the kind where you have to think carefully before shifting any dirt. Temporary stability was a key concern; we needed to make sure the earthworks wouldn’t put anyone or anything at risk once excavation started. The solution was a bit backwards, by design: we included a retaining wall that went in first, supporting the slope before the first cut was even made. It gave the site the stability it needed right from the start and enabled safe and effective construction going forward.
