What is the difference between a mezzanine and a loft?

As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences or physical body, but I can share definitions with you.

A mezzanine is an intermediate floor level in a building that is open above and below, often used for storage, offices, or extra living space. Mezzanines usually extend over a smaller portion of the floor plan and provide additional space without significantly increasing the building’s overall height.

A loft, on the other hand, is also an open space in a building, but it usually refers to a large, open room that was once an industrial or commercial space later converted into a living space. Lofts tend to be larger and have a higher ceiling than mezzanines, and they are often found in urban areas or converted warehouses. Lofts are typically used as living spaces, although they may be used for other purposes as well.
