Hillside home plans

 Hillside home plans are unique in that the style does not follow a traditional form, but rather molds itself to the specifics of the land on which the home is built. As one would guess from the description, these homes are unique in the way they take advantage of a hill or sloping lot, creating form and function that are molded to the landscape in a practical and aesthetically pleasing manner.
 
 Hillside home plans often see innovative use of space and depth, with angle of the hill dictating how creative the final space turns out to be. It is common for these homes to see the living quarters placed on the second level, with the lower level acting as a deck or viewpoint for the hill. These homes can also have lower levels that are actually inset into the hill itself, creating for interesting architectural and visual themes.
 
 A key element to hillside home plans is how the hill is situated. Some houses are nestled into an ascending slope, with the hill rising behind them and creating a feel of surrounding landscape. The other more arresting option is when the house is built into a hill that slopes away and downward behind it, creating the visual illusion that the house is perched on the edge of a steep drop-off and affording an excellent view from the back of the house.
