Sloping Lot Collection
Discover floor plans specifically engineered for sloping lots that transform challenging terrain into stunning multi-level homes. These architectural designs work harmoniously with the natural grade of your property, using split-level and daylight basement configurations to maximize both living space and views.
Sloping lot house plans typically feature a walkout basement that opens to the lower portion of the yard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The main level often includes an open-concept living area with large windows and sliding doors that capture panoramic vistas, while the split-level design naturally separates private and social spaces. Many plans incorporate decks, patios, and terraced outdoor living areas that extend your usable space.
Modern sloping lot designs embrace contemporary amenities like home offices, mudrooms with built-in storage, and flexible bonus rooms that can adapt to changing needs. Energy-efficient features such as strategic window placement for natural lighting and passive solar heating help reduce utility costs while maintaining comfort. Popular layouts include three to four bedrooms, 2.5+ bathrooms, and two-car garages either at street level or tucked underneath the main floor.
These homes excel at maximizing natural light and ventilation through multiple exposures, while providing privacy from street view. The multi-level design creates natural sound barriers between sleeping and living areas. Structural elements like retaining walls and proper drainage systems are thoughtfully integrated into these plans, ensuring long-term stability on challenging sites.
Perfect for families who value both views and functionality, sloping lot house plans offer unique advantages like separate entrances for potential in-law suites, enhanced privacy between floors, and the opportunity to create distinct zones for entertainment, work, and relaxation. Whether you're building on a hillside, mountainside, or gently sloping suburban lot, these designs transform topographical challenges into architectural opportunities.

Exterior Wall Construction Choices
Most of our stock plans come as 2x4 exterior wall construction by default. We do provide options to change the exterior wall type. Those options include 2x6 exterior walls, Post Frame Construction, CMU Block Construction, etc.
Foundation Types
When de signing our house plans, a default foundation is set for a given plan. If possible, we include options to change the foundation type to better match your construction needs. For instance, if the default foundation is an unfinished basement, you'll have the option to change the foundation type to a walkout foundation, crawlspace, or slab foundation.
Please note: Some of our plans are designed with special foundation needs, such as post and pier for waterfront properties. These plans may not allow an option to choose another foundation type. If you find yourself in need of an alternate foundation and aren't given the choice, please fill out the alteration request on the plan page.
Right Reading Reverse
One of our more popular options is reversing the plan. Ordering the reverse option will not only flip the plan on the sets for you, it will also correct the text to make the plan read correctly while reversed.
CAD Files
All of our plans are offered as digital PDF downloads. If you want to make changes to the plan yourself, there is an add-on option that will give you the CAD files. Our CAD files are exported in AutoCAD format. You must have software capable of opening CAD files to use them. This option is great if you are in the business of home building and need to make slight changes to the plans per lot.
