Split Level
Explore our range of Split Level House Designs, ideal for sloping blocks. Sloping sites often offer the greatest views, affordable land prices, or are simply easier to buy. However, most project home builders don’t want to know about them. In fact, even custom, master builders often shy away from challenging sites.
Designing and building on a slope takes patience, experience and skill. Mincove Homes has taken on the challenges of sloping sites for almost two decades and in doing so, have become experts in solving almost every problem inherent in a sloping or difficult site. In fact, sloping sites are our specialty – up slope, down slope, side slope, we do them all.

Benefits of a Split Level House Design
Maximise views
If there is a possibility that you can get a view from a second storey on a split level home then you should absolutely capitalise on that if you can. A split level home built on a block that has views from the ground level will only be better once you build upwards. We will work out the best layout for the requirements you have to ensure that you hold onto those spectacular views. Taking advantage of your picturesque surroundings and using your land wisely will set your home apart from the rest.
Sustainability
A block that is on a slope offers benefits when building a large tri level house design or a split level home. As our designs cater well to most climates, you’ll be able to enhance your energy efficiency performance and get the most comfort possible. A split level home design allows for an abundance of natural light, natural drainage and plenty of ventilation throughout the house.

Optimises Space
Our split level builders will work to optimise space over your split level home. Storage, room to move, and entertaining all have one thing in common and that is – they need space. Building up means you will have to compromise less as you will have more vertical space to play with.
Cost-effective Alternative
Cutting costs can be a godsend when you’re building a home. Cutting into an angled block of land to build a single storey home can be expensive and time consuming. When you choose a split level design, there is no need to move any earth and no digging into rock causing water pipe damage.
