01 · Original Property

The starting point.

The property was purchased as an undeveloped hillside site with heavily overgrown grass. The sloping terrain required substantial preparation before the site could be used effectively.

02 · Excavation & Site Preparation

Clearing and reshaping the hillside.

Using an excavator, the site was cleared and cut to create the required building area. Significant earthworks were undertaken to reshape the sloping block and prepare it for the next stage.

Creating usable, level areas.

Engineered timber retaining walls were installed to retain the cut areas and establish usable, level sections of the property.
