Foundations on clay terraced terrain
(OP)
if i have an existing villa on a soft clayish terrain and would like to excavate 4.0m from its lowest side by circa 8.0 m deep. any suggestions on how to contain the movement of the upper villa ??? seems like the latter has a concrete platform.

You can't do a cut this deep without bracing it somehow. Too much of a risk for soil failure, even with clay. I just did a 24 foot excavation and used sheet piles which were braced at the top edge via steel beams.
