What is a split-level house?

If you want to keep height but are unwilling to accept the low height of a split-level house, split-level housing can be a good choice.

So, what kind of house is a split-level house?

What are the characteristics of split-level housing?

A split-level house is a concrete floor structure with two or more different heights, and the staggered places are connected by stairs.

The advantage is that like a loft, it can be divided into dynamic and static areas, and because it is not completely divided into two floors, it has the rich sense of space of a duplex house.

Split-level refers to a house with various functional rooms on different planes, separated by a height difference of 30-60cm, with clear layers and strong three-dimensionality, but not divided into two floors, so it is suitable for large-area residences.

The difference between split-level and other house types. The formal scientific name of the split-level house type should be "multi-level stepped-up house".

Why is this room type popularly called split-level in the market?

Because Shanghai Wangyuan Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., the first company in Shanghai to apply for a national invention patent for this housing type, developed the first "multi-level stepped-up residential building" "Ronghe Garden" in June 1998. The slogan on the building's building brochure is:

: "Collection of Shanghai's first mismatched version of a house." So the split-level house became popular among home buyers.

Multi-level cascade-type houses are a house with more than two levels, but they are different from the general uniform simple two-story tiered houses.

The first level of the entrance is the public area. To the south is a large living room with a 4.2-meter bay, and to the north are the dining room, kitchen and public bathroom. Going up three steps inward forms the second area, which consists of one or two rooms.

, small-area rooms are composed of elderly rooms, children's rooms or guest rooms; continuing up the 8-step staircase is the third area, which is the owner's activity area.

Different split levels form different functional areas.

Split-level houses are different from the duplex or loft houses that are popular today.

Although the levels of the residence are staggered, the area of ??a single residence can be controlled reasonably and effectively. Taking the stairs as an example, the floor area of ??the duplex staircase must be calculated for both the upper and lower floors. For the split-level type, only the area of ??the first floor is calculated, so the staggered level can be designed

The production of 80-90 square meters of housing allows ordinary citizens to buy new housing with rich levels, reasonable area and reasonable total price.

Another feature of split-level houses is that they enrich the picture level of home life. When many people buy a house and decorate it, they also deliberately create a step and design a platform in the room. The purpose is to change the traditional inherent living space and enjoy happiness.

Three-dimensional living, split-level residences have been improved and perfected in terms of dynamic and static zoning, privacy and comfort.

In addition, the split-level house design has certain restrictions on its lifting height, and its earthquake resistance requirements are higher than those of ordinary houses.

Due to the requirements for ventilation and lighting, east-west staggered floors are also mainly used.

To put it simply, it refers to the interior part of a house. Except for the balcony, kitchen, and bathroom, when the elevation in the room is inconsistent, and the height difference is small (generally more than 0.45-0.3 meters), the house type is called a split-level house.

style residence.

(Horizontal projected area in the apartment = area in the apartment) Note that it is different from duplex houses (buildings within buildings, the height difference is not less than 2.8 meters) and duplex houses (the height difference is 2.2-2.6 meters except for the living room).

It has a complete two-story space.

Generally speaking, the floor height of duplex residences is relatively high (the floor height of ordinary residences is generally 2.8 meters). Mezzanines can be separated at the higher floor heights to arrange bedrooms or studies, etc., and stairs can be used to connect the upper and lower floors. The purpose is to create space in a limited space.

Increase the operating area and improve the space utilization rate of the residence.

A split-level house is a house that occupies two floors. The living room, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom are usually arranged on the first floor, and the bedrooms, study room, etc. are arranged on the second floor.

Split-level housing mainly refers to the living room, bedroom, kitchen, etc. in the house being on several planes with different heights, and each space is connected by several steps.

The difference between a duplex and a loft: If the upper and lower floors are completely separated, it should be called a loft house; if the upper and lower floors are in the same space, that is, the surface, railings, corridors and other parts of the surface can be seen from the ground floor, then it is a duplex house.

Duplex residence.

The difference between a duplex and a split-level apartment: The floor height of a duplex apartment often exceeds the height of one person, equivalent to two floors.

The height of the split-level style is lower than one person, and people standing on the first level can see the second level by looking straight up.

Therefore, split-level buildings are known as “compressed duplexes”.

In addition, the first and second floors of a duplex are always projected vertically, with the upper and lower areas being the same; while the two or three floors of a split-level building are not directly stacked on top of each other, but are staggered with unequal heights.

The difference between split-level and double-level houses: Split-level houses are basically intact flat-level houses.

Of course, within a plane, it is divided into different planes with little difference in height.

The loft is a completely independent two-story living space, each floor is close to the height of an ordinary residential building.

Advantages of split-level houses The biggest advantage of split-level houses is that they have the layout of a flat house and a villa-like living feeling.

Split-level houses have many features that are not comparable to ordinary houses and villas.
