Split level house plans conceived for sloping or hilly places. It takes advantage of what might prove to be a difficult difference in elevation and use it for profit. As a general rule, the degree of disunity should not be built on flat ground. Mounding up the ground in front of the top to give a view of the hill usually produces poor results.

The split level makes space use efficiently. The general arrangement of separation levels separates sleep, life, and recreation at different levels. Little or even hall space is needed at split level homes due to its basic design, positive factors no doubt. At the lowest level, there is a normal basement that accommodates heating and cooling equipment, storage, and possibly a shop or restroom. This area is the usual basement depth. In some cases, basements may be undesirable and crawl space is provided for maintenance and ventilation. The basement is usually equal to 40 to 60 percent of the space occupied by the house. This is usually enough for efficient use without wasting time.

The next level rises from the basement, the middle level, generally accommodating the garage and recreation areas. This area is ground level and thus suitable for this function. Terraces and terraces can be attached to recreational areas which further enhance their use. The middle tier may also have a large foyer, mud room, or living room. Slightly higher than the middle level is the level of life. Generally, this area is located in the class too: the skew class makes this setting possible. The kitchen, dining room, living room, and full or half bath is usually located at the residence level. The porch, mud spaces, and rest rooms may also lie at this level depending on the layout or preferences. Again, the use of terraces and terraces adds usefulness and strengthens the attractiveness of the split level.

At the highest altitude in the house is the sleeping area and bathtub. Half-degree differences between living and sleeping levels provide greater privacy and tranquility. Split-level homes do have some negative aspects. They are generally more expensive to build than two stories. In most cases, however, they are cheaper than farms. Warming may be a problem if it is not handled properly. The use of zoned heating (separate thermostats for different areas of the house) will usually solve the heating problem. There are basically three variations of the split-level design: side by side, front to back, and back to front. Many tilts from left or right are suitable for juxtaposing. This design puts the living room across from the sleeping area and the middle.
