Hmm yes - that example is probably typical vic outrigger side infil / wrap. so the steps are coming down out of the back reception room - on the main building line. Bad example for you then. I Figure you need to look for examples on streets running perpendicular to the slope of a hill where the gardens drop away must be some out there.

Fun challenge - lots of Victorian terraces have steps down into rear outriggers obvs. So there are heaps of examples of those.
Forum’s own @dbr has a wicked spilt level arrangement in a post war (?) place too. But only couple of steps.
Defo one other on here I can’t remember who - Had lovely high ceilings which should defo be a goal if possible.
Trawl dezeen / don’t move improve.
I would defo step down for value / ease if the plan can suit it. Otherwise you’ll end up with a crawl space under - which for it to be usuable and not a rat pit - would equate to another half storey of construction cost - dividing floor and then a ground slab and foundations.
The height of the new external walls will define foundation depth - but adding in a dividing floor would add some load.

I could imagine quite a few good operational reasons for Ashford over Perivale regardless of shithole-ness. I would be interested to know how much strategic analysis was done before commissioning design work. Maybe it was just a punt to explore a concept more than anything ? I havn’t read the article but I don’t remember seeing much more than some concept renders ? Wasn’t anywhere near planning was it ?

Draw the whole wall elevation to scale - inc' the fireplace, hearth, mantle, mirror, skirting - whatever is in the alcove on the rhs. All the detail for stuff that is fixed. Then you can test options for your design and even play with ideas for other potential non-fixed stuff like plants and motivational wall art.
