There is 2 meters of fall over the site for Lot 3 from the North-East corner to the South-West. Our decision was to work with this in the design. Because of this, the home incorporates a 600mm split level.<\/p>\n

This split functions to separate the main entry, master bedroom, ensuite and study from the open-plan living areas, laundry, bathroom, powder room and the home’s two other bedrooms.<\/p>\n

The design also focused on creating versatility for utilisation of spaces. The north bedroom on the main lower-level could function as a bedroom, or a hobby room. The study in the upper-level could alternatively be used to run a business from home, where clients could come into the workspace while the main home remains private. The study could also function as a second living space, or even as another bedroom.[\/vc_column_text][heading]\n

Site Cut and Footings<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]As you can tell from any image of the Ten NorthMaine site – it’s not your standard site. There is a significant slope, with 10 meters of fall over the entire development site. However, this is what makes it so special to us.<\/p>\n

We aren’t having each lot flattened to build a pre-designed home that would work on any flat allotment. Each home will be designed to work with the slope of the individual lot. For Lot 3, this means the inclusion of a small split level.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_gallery type=”nectarslider_style” images=”584,585,586,587,588,589,590,591″ image_loading=”default” bullet_navigation=”true” bullet_navigation_style=”see_through” onclick=”link_no” img_size=”600×400″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

Unique and natural appearance<\/h4>\n

Rammed earth has a distinctive natural appearance. Visible from the off-form finish, compaction layers formed during construction create subtle variations in tone and texture. This means each wall is truly unique in its character.<\/p>\n

Environmental sustainability<\/h4>\n
