A penthouse is a rooftop floor. It can also mean a lean-to roof, a rooftop house, a roof eaves, or a canopy, but under building regulations it refers to a small part of a building that is located on the roof of a building. If the floor area of a penthouse exceeds 1/8 of the building area, it is counted as one floor, so the size of a penthouse depends on the eaves height and number of floors of the building. Examples include elevator towers (elevator machine rooms), lookout towers, and decorative towers.

塔屋 (とうや) ,屋上階のこと。差掛屋根,屋上住宅,軒,庇などの意味にも使われるが,建築法規上は,建築物の屋上に設けられた小さな床面積をもつ建築部分をいう。塔屋の床面積が建築面積の1/8をこえると一つの階として計算されるので,ペントハウスの大小は建築物の軒高や階数に関係することになる。昇降機塔 (エレベータの機械室) ,物見塔,装飾塔などがこれにあたる。
