Topography

Your property sits on the surface of a bit of property, and the nature of the surface — whether it is flat, hilly, mountainous or some mix — is your property’s topography. The topography of the property affects the way the citizens enter the house and access the outside spaces.

Gelotte Hommas Architecture

A slightly sloping piece of property has a gentle topography. This doesn’t mean that the land is flat. In fact, different heights of the house can get distinct outside spaces if the website is gently sloping and the home’s layout takes advantage of that.

As a set of steps in a version, topography is expressed in the design phase. Each measure represents a distance, such as a foot or even a of foot that is half. These kinds of models can help you visualize the slope of the property and the way that affects the home’s design.

The topography of A site can be expressed in a drawing, represented. Where the lines are close together, the website rises or falls sharply. Where the lines are farther apart, the website is flatter. Changes to the topography created from building the house as well as the driveway, walks etc. are exhibited by solid, darker lines connecting the present topographic lines.

Peace Design

A website can seem to be relatively flat or to have a gentle slope when it is surrounded by steeper slopes and mountainous terrain. In a case like this, it is ideal to have a site plan showing the surrounding topography, so the layout could take that into consideration.
