Difficult Blocks

With a flexible and imaginative approach, difficult sites present great opportunities.

Designing and building for difficult blocks

Homesites come in all shapes and sizes – sloping block builds, narrow home design or sometimes just an irregular shape. The benefits of these blocks often outweigh the challenges as long as your vision is approached intelligently by architects experienced in the demands of smart design.

Maximising your design

It is possible to achieve an impressive innovative design on a difficult site – and realise an exciting place you can call home. No matter the degree of difficulty, there is always a way a challenging site can be transformed into a beautiful home.
