AVANTECTURE is a team of specialists for difficult construction projects on slopes. As difficult as the requirements may be, there is no doubt that impressive buildings are created on slopes. Residents can enjoy a panoramic view of the valley through floor-to-ceiling glazing. Expressive overhangs protrude from the valley side and convey architectural weightlessness. The classic basement becomes a sloping floor with living qualities. Modern houses on a slope need experienced architects. The complexity cannot be adequately managed with a prefabricated house.

Our “Architektenhaus Wien am Hang” with approx. 550 square meters of living space built as a solid house in a suburb of Vienna is one such project. The extra-angular floor plan nestles into the obtuse angle in the north-east corner of the plot, making full use of the southern rear area. All living rooms enjoy a view of the valley that extends far to the mountains opposite.

Quote from Mr. Baca 4 years after moving in to our photographer:
“I was very impressed that our house turned out exactly as Mr. Heinze designed it back then. Also the thing with the sun position visualization and the promised lack of shade on the ground floor terrace due to the giant trees of the neighbor, has also occurred…
It is phenomenally beautiful architecture!”

Building on a slope creates living spaces with impressive valley views. Thanks to the almost completely glazed valley side of the building, residents can enjoy the visual benefits of a hillside property to the full. AVANTECTURE knows how to skillfully showcase these views and takes valuable visual axes into account as early as the floor plan stage. Visitors entering the building from the street side, for example, can be offered an exciting foretaste of the view by means of skillful visual guidance, without giving too much away.

Our experienced experts for building houses on slopes using solid construction methods ensure the quality of your project. Static solutions in connection with the building ground, sealing the building against slope water and the energy efficiency of the houses are well thought out.

Our modern hillside villa in Pforzheim with pool and a breathtaking view of the city offers such attractive vistas and panoramic views in abundance. The massive ceiling overhangs provide structural solar shading and reinforce the sculptural architecture of the house on the slope.
On the occasion of the announcement of the results of our competition by the client:
“What convinced us most about your design and its implementation was that you combined the two different orientations of the window fronts to the south and the view of the valley for all the important living spaces so cleverly and appropriately with your fan-shaped arrangement of the garden-side façade fronts. Every room gets enough sun and gives us the view we wanted …..”
Mrs. Bettinger (the family has lived in this house since 2017)

“A magnificent design – the unique Bauhaus-style shape is causing quite a stir and we are simply thrilled! The panoramic windows guarantee a wide view of the valley from all the living spaces and all the interiors they designed delight us every day – the fireplace and the master bathroom are particularly successful.”
Mrs. Koch 1 year after moving in.

Houses on slopes are costly to build, but promise unimagined living qualities and breathtaking views.

This beautiful architect’s house with a special view into the distance across the valley – framed by high mountains – is one of the most beautiful projects we have had the pleasure of creating.
The vineyard location and the special design as a home to an excellent art collection are two other parameters that particularly inspired us.
A pool on the terrace – captured and protected by the L-shaped floor plan – and the 2nd roof terrace on the floor above allow residents to enjoy the benefits of the special location to the full, even outdoors.
Mr. P. Zünd about his house, about 12 months after moving in: “I can’t say it any other way: I am thrilled every day anew. As soon as I drive up to the house and from afar, I can see the shape of the building and enjoy it.”

The client’s wishes were clear: Bauhaus style and classic modernism on a very narrow and trapezoidal plot. The existing building only had 150 square meters of living space. The design by H. Heinze was able to combine the client’s wishes with an increase in usable and living space to approx. 500 square meters. The international style and the rounded corners convinced the client.

For this project, we had the task of integrating the building into the slope as skillfully as possible while creating as much play space as possible for the children. This goal has been achieved and, of course, all the main living spaces once again have a wide view of the valley through the generous panoramic glazing. The pitched roof has been given a modern interpretation.
“The development plan with the pitched roof requirement is the only shortcoming of our property. Can you even create something beautiful and modern?”
At the end of the first meeting, the Dr. Lohmann family has been living in this house for 2 years.

The Circle design study continues the original idea of a villa on a slope in a semi-circular design. In addition to a very large luxury villa (the dimensions shown here indicate 1,500 square meters of usable space – plus underground parking and technical rooms), this could also be used as a luxury hotel. The basic shape is also suitable for accommodating much larger structures.
The building in this new version now stands on the edge of a cliff again – now with a spectacular sea view. Generous glazing from all living areas provides a panoramic view of the water. Outdoor terraces on various levels in front of these windows continue this quality towards the sea. The outwardly curved façade creates the effect that the users can live “away from each other” in the best possible way, thus reducing mutual views.

Another project on a slope above a river also uses this idea – for the first time actually on a “real” slope.

This is a new and very special project for us: after around 15 years of exclusively planning projects outside Saxony and all over the world, we can now proudly announce – following the positive conclusion of a competition – that we are finally able to realize another modern residential building here in our city

Customer Dr. F. from Leipzig: “This will be the best villa in our city. The pool is very impressive and so is the shape of the building. I wanted the façade to be a beautiful, strong grey, and your visualizations prove that my wish was right.”
