Sloping floor between two rooms

[artimuscrackfrog]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help.
I have a lounge diner that's been knocked through. I am looking to lay laminate across the two rooms. The problem is the level between the two. the dining room, at the back of the house, is level with and connected to the kitchen, and has rear French doors in it. The lounge is at the front, and is level with and connected to the hallway, which has the front door in it and the stairs off.

The wooden floating floor at the front of the house is 35mm lower than the concrete floor at the back of the house. I was wondering if there was a way to slope the floor between the two rooms, or if I built up the front floor to the same level, if there was a way to slope it over the threshold of the door in to the hallway?

Thanks in advance[/wiki]

You could put in a shallow ramp in the floating floor to the door, depending on the house floor layout, some pics might help.

I will try and get some pics later.
Would a reducer threshold work in the doorway, or is 35mm, plus the thickness of the laminate, be too big a step?

Sorry, forgot to wrote on it..that bit on the left is the stairs. The two lines in the door in to the lounge.

Don't know what happened there, just ignore.

This is the correct sketch -

I had thought about this, but was told it was against regs to lose some of the first step height.
Also, the hall has tiles down that I was hoping to keep. That's why I'm at a lsoo.
