mezzanines
Partial upper levels
Mezzanines are intermediate floors in a building, typically between the ground floor and the first full story.
A mezzanine is usually partial—it doesn't extend across the entire footprint but overlooks the floor below: The restaurant had additional seating on the mezzanine.
In theaters, the mezzanine is the lowest balcony section.
In finance, mezzanine refers to intermediate-risk debt or funding that falls between senior debt and equity.
