I now wonder whether there is a term in SV that really covers this. As Thomas O wrote there are usually several levels of half-area floors in a split-level house. An "etagevåning" isn't necesarily like that, it is quite likely to be a 2 (or 3) level apartment where each level covers the whole house area. I don't think it is necessarily built on sloping ground, as for the terms "sluttningshus" and "sutterängshus".

This has a good explanation of split-level: the entry door is at a level between the 2 main floors.

: "duplex" in EN usually means a building containing 2 apartments eg "parhus" in SV. My point is that "duplex" in SV is not so clear a term

tvåvåningslägenhet
:o)

Tania McConaghy
: fast det kan ju vara fler än 2 våningar t.ex. en del halvplan på olika nivåer. Kanske "flervåningslägenhet" täcker alla möjliga utformningar

sluttningslägenhet
Motsvarande "split-level house" som heter sluttningshus eller sutteränghus. "Split-storey" bör betyda att lägenheten består av flera halvplan istället för normala genomgående våningar.
Peer comment(s):
| disagree |
Tania McConaghy
: det är inte nödvändigtvis en sluttningstomt, "split-storey" kan byggas på plan mark
