Elusive scenery and interesting architecture are the advantages to building a house on a sloping site. This tiered home designed by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris in Spain is one of the good example. (see Figure 5.5). This stepped house allows each level a grand view of the sea. House is built in the oak forests and steep meadows of the Santa Lucia Mountains. The top level is the main entry point to the home. (see Figure 5.6 ) Full sized windows line the back walls that face the nature preserve. The side view shows the overall scope of the proposed buildings. From top to bottom, the regression is a garage, then steps and gardens leading down to the main living quarters, and a pavilion and steps leading down further to a garden and small infinity pool. This type of housing layout is perfect for a sloping narrow site. (Eva Designs,

5.5. Conclusion
Buildings on sloping sites have different architectural and structural considerations. So, the study of buildings in different types of terrains would enhance the understanding of behavior of the building towards the landform.
The context given in the chapter is aimed at achieving attractive and functional places through better design, better construction techniques, proper use of building materials, suitability of landslopes for different buildings.
