mezipatro

Mezipatro is a Czech term that translates to "mezzanine" in English. It refers to an intermediate floor or platform within a building, situated between two main floors. Typically, a mezzanine is not counted as a full storey and is often open to the space below.

Mezzanines are commonly found in residential buildings, particularly in loft apartments or homes with high ceilings, where they can be used as sleeping areas, offices, or additional living space. In commercial settings, such as retail stores or warehouses, mezzanines serve as extra floor space for storage, display, or administrative purposes without requiring a larger building footprint.

The construction of a mezzanine can vary greatly, from simple wooden platforms to more elaborate steel structures. They are often integrated into the existing architecture of a building, utilizing vertical space efficiently. The design and purpose of a mezzanine are dictated by the specific needs of the space and its occupants.
