3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1clear height Explanation: The Diccionario LID (Construcción e Inmobiliario) gives clear height or clearance height for altura libre. It looks like clear height might work in your context: ***Clear height -- that is, the distance from the floor to the lowest point of a structure (such as a girder, beam or joist)*** -- has been climbing from 28 feet to 32 feet in most larger bulk buildings. http://www.bizjournals.com/memphis/stories/2004/06/28/focus3... Your sentence means that the house (I assume vivienda here is a house) has a gable roof, which means the clear height from the floor to the ceiling is considerable. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2006-01-24 07:11:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Forgot to put the Spanish definition given for "altura libre" in the LID dictionary: "En un edificio, distancia vertical entre el suelo y techos acabados de una habitación." The fact that they say the altura libre is "considerable" almost makes it sound like a cathedral ceiling...does that fit your context? Cathedral ceiling A high open ceiling formed by finishing exposed roof rafters. http://www.homegain.com/info_center/glossary/results?qurl=hg... |
