The relaxed and informal split level house plan caters to growing families, with separate spaces for daily activities.

The middle level of the house plan often contains the living and dining area, the upper level holds the bedrooms, and the lower lever typically features a finished family room and garage. The family room often opens to a back patio with sliding glass doors. The exterior is composed of natural wood, brick, and large picture windows, but with few decorative elements, giving the home a modern feel.

• Two or more levels in a small footprint
