Modern Hillside House Plan
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a clear conceptual layout that lets me picture how our single-story, flat-roofed modern home will sit on a sloping, view-oriented site. The brief is simple but detailed enough to guide the space planning:
• A three-car garage set at the entry level, with a generous storeroom and a small comms/data room tucked behind it.
• Two equally sized secondary bedrooms sharing one bathroom.
• A laundry that opens outdoors and includes a built-in dog wash.
• An open-plan kitchen, lounge and living zone that captures the best outlook over the hills.
• A master suite with walk-in robe and private ensuite.
• An outdoor study/office reached through a covered balcony so it feels separate yet connected.
The drawing set I’m after at this stage is limited to:
1. A dimensioned floor plan that shows furniture placements for scale.
2. Basic elevations indicating the flat roof profile and how the building steps with the terrain.
3. (Nice to have) A simple 3-D massing model in SketchUp, Revit, AutoCAD-3D, or any common format so I can rotate and explore the volumes.
Keep the design language clean, modern and low-maintenance, with glazing positioned to frame hillside vistas and bring in northern light. No need for full construction detailing; accuracy and clarity in the spatial layout are what matter most right now.
