Explanation:
credo che sia errata la scelta della traduzuione. Io propendo per "elevated floor" come suggerito da "suslik".
C'è una differenza fra i due termini. Ground floor è a livello terreno , mentre molte case in città sono "rialzate" ovvero presentano il pavimento ad un metro circa di altezza dal livello stradale.
Quindi PT (piano terra) è a livello 0, mente PR (piano rialzato) è a circa 1 m dal livello stradale.

Rispondo a Cristina
Il mezzanino è un\'altra cosa. Il mezzanino è un piano secondario (spesso di servizio) intercalato o sovrapposto ai piani principali; spesso è ricavato nella differenza di altezza fra alcuni ambienti, oppure facendo dei soppalchi, allorché l\'ambiente è molto alto, come fanno le ditte per il materaiale di magazzino, raddoppiando così la superficie disponibile, o come fanno in certe case vecchie e alte 4 m, dove ricavano o un salotto o una camera da letto su un bel soppalco.

agree  maryrose: I agree with Gian, but the only term I've ever heard used for it is "mezzanine floor", in this case, between the ground and the first floors.
