When building on sloping land, many people worry that the terrain will limit their options. Hamlan views this as an opportunity to create innovative, stylish homes that perfectly complement the natural landscape.
Their split-level homes are designed to work with the slope, not against it, offering a stunning blend of function, aesthetics, and innovative design.
Hamlan offers five distinct split-level designs, each providing unique solutions for modern family living on sloping blocks. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of split-level homes and explore the features of Hamlan’s five split-level designs.
Why Build a Split-Level Home?
Designed for Sloping Blocks
One of the primary benefits of split-level homes is their adaptability to uneven terrain. Rather than relying on costly earthworks to flatten the site, split-level designs utilise the natural contours of the land.
This not only helps to reduce construction costs but also allows the home to blend seamlessly into the environment, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.
Maximising Views and Natural Light
Split-level homes provide excellent opportunities to take advantage of the elevated sections of your land. By positioning living areas on the higher levels, you can enjoy panoramic views of your surroundings and make the most of natural light.
Large windows, common in split-level designs, also help to bring the outside in, creating a bright and open living space.
Separation of Living Spaces
A split-level home offers a clever way to separate living areas from sleeping quarters. By having staggered floors, split-level homes naturally divide spaces, creating clear zones for different functions.
This can be particularly beneficial for families, as it provides privacy between bedrooms and social areas while still maintaining a connected and cohesive layout.
