Faced with the challenge of designing homes on terrains with steep slopes - or in compact urban contexts that do not allow much variation in plan - several architects have experimented and proposed split-level homes to enhance the use of space, allowing, among other things, interesting visual perspectives.
These variations can be seen in numerous examples published on our site. Below, we have selected 50 examples that can help you in your next project.
