This is another split-level or 1.5 storey house design that we are featuring for your inspiration.  Many split-level designs have been featured in the past.  If you have not accessed those posts but is intereted with it, then you better check this one out!    Split-level house or 1.5 storeys are actually designed like a bungalow with one half of it having an upper storey like the one you see in this post.  One half of one third of the house has a upper level while the main level looks like a bungalow.   The living room, dining and kitchen, a common toilet, and sometimes one bedroom is placed in the main level of the house.  The bedrooms are located upstairs with a balcony.  This is the usual design of split-level houses.  However, in other designs, there is a basement that is used as a storage, or the kitchen and the laundry area may be placed there.
