A mezzanine is an intermediate floor or platform that is situated between the main floors of a building. It is often used to create additional space without the need for a full additional floor. Mezzanines are commonly found in commercial buildings, warehouses, and theaters, providing areas for offices, storage, or seating. In architecture, a mezzanine can enhance the design of a space by adding visual interest and functionality. It typically has a lower ceiling height than the main floors and may be open to the area below. Mezzanines are also used in industrial settings to maximize vertical space and improve workflow.
