Can wrap-around porch homes be built on a sloping lot?

The lay of the land conflicts with the extension of the porch, making a wrap-around impossible.
However, you could have a porch on one side of the house at one level and a porch or deck on the other side of the house at another level that also gives you lots of covered, airy space.
