Building on a hillside comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. This custom home in Boerne, TX, is designed to perfectly fit its unique hillside location, making the most of the Texas Hill Country views. The multi-level design takes advantage of picturesque views, turning the natural landscape into a living piece of art.
The strategic placement of the home not only provides stunning vistas but also maximizes the use of natural light. Large windows and open spaces are key features that bring the outside beauty indoors, creating a seamless connection with nature.
Framing a multi-level home on a hillside requires innovative techniques and careful planning. The recently completed framing of this custom home involved the use of engineered beams to support large spans, ensuring structural integrity while allowing for wide open living spaces.
Special attention was given to the alignment and leveling of each floor to accommodate the uneven terrain. The result is a sturdy framework that sets the stage for the next phases of construction, ensuring that the home will stand strong for years to come.
The foundation of this hillside home was a complex project that required meticulous planning and execution. Due to the unique setup, the slab foundation was completed in three stages with three separate concrete pours. This phased approach ensured that each section of the foundation was perfectly set and aligned.
Heavy excavation was necessary to prepare the site, taking into account the slope and natural features of the Boerne hillside. The end result is a solid and stable foundation that will support the home’s multi-level structure, providing a strong base for the building.
With the framing complete, the focus now shifts to the rough-in stage, which involves the installation of mechanical systems such as HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. This stage is crucial for ensuring that all systems are properly integrated and function efficiently.
Careful planning is essential to accommodate the unique design of the home, especially given the multi-level layout. The placement of ducts, pipes, and wiring must be coordinated to avoid conflicts and ensure seamless operation. This phase will set the groundwork for a comfortable and functional living environment.
