Split Level Home Designs
Custom Designs for Sloping Sites
We focus on designing solutions that work with – and not against – your site.
What some see as a difficult site, we see as opportunities to create a one-of-a-kind home. Michaelangelo Homes focuses on reducing the expense of leveling your site while also maximising the qualities and natural contours of the land. We think beyond the obvious, designing multi-level concepts that offer an abundance of light, natural ventilation, great storage, minimal excavation, and exceptional views.
It’s this insight, combined with masterful execution, that has cemented us as one of Greater Western Sydney’s most sought-after builders for one-of-a-kind homes.
A one-of-a-kind home deserves
Exceptional Quality As Standard
At Michaelangelo Designer Homes, quality isn’t an upgrade—it’s built into every home we create.
We’ve taken the time to source the finest fittings and fixtures which form the very essence of a stunning new home. From the structural foundation to the final finishes, all our materials have been handpicked from reputable brands to meet the highest standards of craftsmanship, style and durability.
Why Build a Custom Home on a Sloping Block?
Building on a sloping site offers benefits you won’t always find on a standard flat block, including:
- Maximised views – Elevated positions can offer stunning vistas across bushland, coastlines, or city skylines.
- Natural light and ventilation – Smart split-level designs capture more sunlight and breeze, reducing energy costs.
- Unique, character-filled homes – A home designed for your land will always feel more connected to the environment and truly one-of-a-kind.
- Reduced excavation and retaining costs – Working with the slope helps avoid excessive cut-and-fill.
- Flexible, zoned living – Split levels create opportunities for private retreats, kids’ areas, and communal family spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you build on a steep block of land?
Yes. We specialise in designing custom homes for steep and sloping blocks, creating multi-level homes that work with the land’s natural gradient while maximising space, light, and views.
Is it more expensive to build on a sloping block?
It can be slightly more costly compared to a flat block due to site preparation, specialised engineering, and foundations. However, with a smart split-level design, you can often save on extensive excavation and retaining walls.
How do you design a home for a sloping block?
We start with a detailed site assessment to understand your block’s unique features. Then we design a split-level or multi-level home that flows naturally with the land, capturing the best aspects of the site.
Can i customise the split-level design?
Absolutely. All our split-level home designs are fully customisable. We’ll work with you to tailor the layout, finishes, and features to suit your lifestyle, family needs, and budget.
What are the benefits of a split-level home?
Split-level homes make better use of uneven land, create zoned living areas, capture natural light and breezes, and offer a unique architectural appeal that sets your home apart.
