The advantages of the Destination Living approach to designing and building on a sloping block
1. Tailored to your site
At Destination Living, we never use set plans, each design is individually designed for your sloping site. This means your home will take full advantage of the elevation, the views, the natural light and landscape of your site.
2. Built for you
We ensure that the design process is a collaborative one. We get to know you, what you need, and what you love so we can create a home tailored to you and your budget. Not only that, we do our research on your site to ensure the plan is ideally suited to your site.
3. Bright living spaces
Lighting is one of the most critical elements of good home design. It helps create the mood, the ambience, as well as lifting the overall aesthetic of a home. Unlike set plan homes, our homes are designed to maximise the availability of natural light, and our living spaces always have northern light even if the orientation doesn’t facilitate it.
4. Feasibility assessment
Sloping blocks can be rife with challenges and unexpected complexities, so we undertake extensive feasibility assessment before we design. We know all about your site from council and authority constraints, to the impact of trees and neighbouring properties. Taking time out at the start of a project to adequately research the site will help you avoid a redesign and surprises in construction (saving you time and money).
5. Making the most of your block
As part of our feasibility process, we get to know your block from above. We use drones to set viewpoints on your block and identify everything that your site has to offer. The best way to find where the best views on your block are to fly up there and see.
6. Extensive briefing process
Our thorough briefing process is what makes our approach so successful. We take the time to understand how you want to live, what’s important to you, what you like, and how this aligns to your budget before we put pen to paper.
7. Collaboration
Our approach is a highly collaborative one. We know how effective it is to work together and not in silos, so you will work with four key stakeholders from start to end of the build – the architect, interior designer, landscaper and builder. To prevent heartache, we price along the way to ensure you are aware of the pricing as you move through the design phase.
