Sets are often given raised platforms as seen below. Usually impractical and unrealistic, but it always adds a nice look and depth to the composition when photographing a set.

The oddest, raised room yet. You could fall off the living room and hurt yourself.

So crazy! Walk in the door, and step down one awkward step.
The Brady Bunch certainly made use of platforms on their set. The foyer, and the raised level of their back wall, which held the staircase and Mike's office.
I have always loved the 70's look.I grew up in a split level house that had a sunken family room.In fact I actually have my living room done up in a 70's look.Who knows,it may actually come back in style!
