ᐅ Step between the living room and the kitchen-dining area

Hello everyone,
Our house is already fully planned, and we have an open living-dining area.
Now we’re considering that it might look nice to slightly separate the living room from the rest of the space with a step running along the entire room length.
Do any of you have experience with this? Is the slab simply poured deeper for this, or how is something like this usually done?

Thanks, have a good week everyone.

Unfortunately, we have several steps because the house actually consists of four different buildings. There is one step down from the entrance hall to the kitchen, then further along the hallway, and another two steps down to the laundry room. It’s no better on the upper floor: one step before the living room (where a partition wall is planned to be installed) and then four steps down from the adjacent room to the new bathroom and dressing room.
It’s not ideal; we would have preferred it differently, but it’s not possible. Therefore, you would be well advised to avoid having steps. They’re unnecessary and only get in the way. For visual separation, you can also use shelves or cabinets.
