We have created an extra space, or rather an extra floor to the house. It's another floor after the 2nd floor. Typically in Malaysia, when you say you live in a double storey home, you just say, downstairs and upstairs. So I suppose you can say that we created another floor after the upstairs and this would make our home a 2.5 storey home ...
We loving call this the "M Floor", M for Mezzanine. It's basically an open space where the TV and library are. This is also a place where the children can sleep when guest use their rooms. They just love it up there, it's like 'camping' they said.
It's also has a small little storage area in the roof. Yes, you read right! Our store room is IN THE ROOF!
Can't visualize? Well, I think I'll photo blog this post!
