A storey plan (the red floor would be the 5th in North American convention, or 4th in the European convention)
A storey (British English)[1] or story (American English),[2] is any level part of a building with a floor that could be used by people (for living, work, storage, recreation, etc.). Plurals for the word are storeys (UK) and stories (US).
The terms floor, level, or deck are used in similar ways, except that it is usual to speak of a "16-storey building," but "the 16th floor"[clarification needed]. The floor at ground or street level is called the "ground floor" (i.e. it needs no number; the floor below it is called "basement", and the floor above it is called "first") in many regions.[3] However, in some regions, like the US, ground floor is synonymous with first floor, leading to differing numberings of floors, depending on region – even between different national varieties of English.
The words storey and floor normally exclude levels of the building that are not covered by a roof, such as the terrace on the rooftops of many buildings. Nevertheless, a flat roof on a building is counted as a floor in other languages, for instance dakvloer in Dutch, literally "roof-floor", simply counted one level up from the floor number that it covers.
A two-storey house or home extension is sometimes referred to as double-storey in the UK,[4] while one storey is referred to as single-storey.[5]
