When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

further back is a double-height space
Sometimes this space can act as a lightwell but in any case it adds drama to a room

Double-height space very popular these days. All the makeover programmes have several but usually, in this part of the world, the living/dining/ kitchen is on the ground floor and part or all of the mezzanine is given over to a lounge area, and sometimes a master bedroom on the other side. However, never seen it described in such a bizarre way
I believe it just means that you enter the living room on the 'top' level, and then go down into the lower part, so if you like, the reverse of a classic situation with say a mezzanine.
It's not 100% clear what is meant, but it's quite common in "architect-designed" houses for living rooms to extend upwards a storey with loads of glass and a galleried landing, so it's probably something like that.
Agree it'd be best to check though!
