What do you call an indoor balcony that is on the second floor? You know, where part of the second floor is cut away so you can look down and see the first floor?

Students, architectural professionals, what is the word? 'Catwalk' is just the answer..Period, as long as it is 'open to below' on both sides to a substantial degree with only 'balustrades' (in case y'all forgot what they are too, they're the floor to handrail height assembly thingys with a railing for one to grasp with their hand, and also with some medium between the floor and the railing which will to allow your chirdren to get their heads stuck into, while at the same time will also prevent your chirdren from falling from the 'Catwalk' via the 'open to below' airspace to the underlying 'Mezanine' or whatever the correst name for the space down may be...Some common materials used are wood, ornamental iron or maybe even or plexiglass or chicken wire or even un-refined sections of tree trunks from whatever saplings might be abundant in the area.....Ya know, the 'pickets' or 'baluster' thingys. 'Catwalk' is just the answer..Period. As long as the aforementioned descriptives have been satisfied. And you're all welcome, now you can sleep at night again. BUT WAIT! Might it be acceptable to utilize more than only one word for the space? OH NO! WHAT HAVE I SAID AND DONE NOW? Maybe you can call it an 'Open Hallway'. Or maybe one could use even more words than only two, and throw in a slash-mark to be appropriately descriptive. 'Catwalk/Open Hallway/Upper Landing w/ Balustrade' thats it! Not gonna be able to sleep at night again. Now to see how many might be compelled to quip that 'chirdren' is not a word in the English vocabulary and to ask if I was referring to or intending to say 'children'.

Maybe you can stop resurrecting long dead threads?

Wondering what's worse... resurrecting a dead thread, or posting a new clone. Both are annoying.

The term you are searching for, I believe (as was I) is "open hallway"
The least they could have done was align the tile joints on the column.

That tile installer has been misaligning tile joints for years and doesn't care what you, fancy designer, says.

I can't even begin to describe how frustrating and maddening it is that architecture students/architects don't know what to call this thing. You all fail.

Google returns a single result for Shay Swindlehurst, a mid-20s writer and paranormal investigator in western MA. The plot thickens.

Shay, I would like to know how frustrating you find it. Start at the beginning.

From his remote perch at Swindlehurst Manor, young Shay visits various profession-oriented websites to dispense his special brand of uninformed critique. Next up for SS: a scathing commentary at Dentinect.com: "That's not a lateral incisor, you dolt!"

Love the exposure this is getting me. I was looking for the word for a piece of writing actually. Had to remove a whole scene from my crappy paranormal investigative mockumentary because it had "this thing" in it

That's too bad because I have a ghost problem and I don't know who to call.

I take both satiric and serious inquiries, but only so long as the ghost is haunting the thing that isn't quite a mezzanine but not a gallery but not an open foyer either.

"The Overlook" seems like a good book title to me. And as good as any other name for the thing which apparently cannot be named.
