The contour map for our block revealed the true mountainous state of our block. There is a 7 metre fall from front to back on one side and a lump in the middle. What is under the lump we are not sure but are suspicious that there is a fair amount of rock. The earth has also been pushed onto the block to create level ground for the road.
The lump is very obvious on the aerial photo.
I had great difficulty picturing the house on the block. My brain couldn't translate a 2D plan on paper to a vision in my head. The plans returned with the house further from the front boundary than I expected and this created even more doubts in my mind. John build a 3D model. Suddenly it all started to make sense and I could see where our home will be. How it will sit in the landscape. Here she is! Check out the video. It is a bit wobbly and I hope you don't feel queasy watching it.

The large snake is our driveway, all 148 m2 of it. That's a lot of concrete.
We will have a lot more front yard than I originally thought we would so now my mind is running wild with landscaping questions.
Please follow my blog. The link is on the right. I am happy to share our experiences of how to create a Home in Hoya.
