Rear extension over 1.5 floors?

[YouWereGr8InLittleMenstruators]

I'm noseying around a property which sits on a south facing slope. Current access to the garden, which does flatten out, is down the equivalent of a flight of stairs, a 'drop' of about 2m. It feels a bit 'removed'; I like to just step out into the garden and be on the same level as it.
I'm wondering whether anyone has built a rear extension on a sort of 'split level' to deal with a slope? The floor of the extension being a sort of 'half floor' down (accessed by stairs), but retaining the ceiling height of the room at the rear of the house from which the extension is built, if that makes sense? A one-and-a-half height extension (very airy!) ? Access to the garden would feel nicer that way, with a shorter 'drop'.
Anyone have any pictures, as I can't seem to find what I am looking for online?

Looks like a good plan

A search on Houzz for 'kitchen stairs' gave a few things that might give you ideas.

Thank you, those are interesting pictures. It is hard to visualise designs so really useful!

We have the same thing with our house. We only came down 45cm which I regret now and then we'll go down another 45cm to the patio but it'll still be well over another meter to the garden.

I didn't want to come down much more in to the kitchen as I have young kids so wanted to limit the stairs but it's taken a year to build the extension and they can already deal with steps much better!

There are lots of Victorian houses with multiple steps down to the kitchen. Usually it's in to a long rather than wide room though.

Very much not finished!
