Split Level Homes
Homes designed to follow the slope of your block instead of fighting it.
Let the land set the levels.
Split level design is what makes a difficult block worth having. Stepping the floor levels half a storey at a time cuts excavation, reduces retaining, and gives you ceiling heights and outlooks a flat design can't.
It also zones a home naturally. Living areas on one level, bedrooms half a flight away — separation without a full staircase between you and the kitchen. Every split level home has to be designed for its specific site, which is exactly the kind of work we do.

The levels resolved before the pricing.
A split level home only works if the design and the engineering are developed together. Get the levels wrong and the cost of excavation and retaining changes everything — which is why we design and build these homes with one team.
By the time you see a price, the levels, the structure and the earthworks are already resolved.
Levels set by the survey, not the plan
We start from a detailed site survey and design the levels to the fall you actually have, rather than adapting a design drawn for flat ground.
Approvals on a sloping site
Sloping blocks bring cut and fill controls, retaining, drainage and overshadowing into the assessment. We prepare applications knowing what councils will question.
Engineering and construction in step
Structural engineering, earthworks and the build program are developed alongside the design — so what's drawn is what gets built, at the price you agreed.
Considered down to the last detail.
On a sloping block, a conventional home means excavation, fill and retaining walls before you've built anything. A split level home steps with the land — each level sitting at the height the site already gives you.
Split level homes that turn a sloping or uneven site into the best thing about the house.
