ABSTRACT:
A multi-dwelling structure is disclosed in which dwellings are arranged on terraces. The structure may be constructed on steep hill sides, or a hill may be built up from earth brought to the site. Preferably, one of the walls of the dwellings is formed of rigid upright panels with pliable reinforcing members secured to the panels and extending rearwardly into the earth to consolidate the earth particles. In the alternative, one of the walls of the dwellings may be formed of concrete cast in situ. The arrangement of the dwellings in the structure provides privacy and extensive areas for growing plants and trees.
