What is an "attic"?
An attic is a space located directly under the roof of a building, typically used for storage. It is often accessed by a ladder or staircase and may have limited headroom, depending on the roof's shape. Attics can be used to store seasonal items, old furniture, or personal belongings that are not frequently used. In some cases, attics are converted into living spaces, such as additional bedrooms or home offices, once they are properly insulated and renovated. The design and use of an attic largely depend on its size and the building's layout.

An attic is a low wall or barrier that rises above the main roofline of a building, often found at the top of a structure. It serves as a decorative feature and can provide additional support for the roof. Attic walls can be seen in various architectural styles, adding to the building's overall design while also helping to create a defined space between the roof and the uppermost floor.
