most commercial projects avoid steep sites- too expensive to justify. only when an overheated housing market has built out all level areas does housing move up the hill either as high end custom projects like ando or as a favella/barrio/informal squatter settlement. you'll never find middle income housing on steep slopes (anything over 1:3 typically). the foundation work/retaining walls are $$$$$$

Looking for examples of projects (particularly larger office/mixed-use) that inhabit steep-slope areas
other tags would be terraced green roofs, similar to ando's rokko housing
