Within certain limits, story height is according to owner preference and designer's choice rather than by structural guidelines, however minimum and maximum height will be regulated by and according to a municipal code and every municipality will have different requirements according to the environmental impact, the urban planning, uniformity, etc. but an average western (ground to roof) story is between 12 and 15 feet in height and the internal height of the floor to ceiling is from 7 to 10 feet. The required space allocation for a structure is a percentage of the entire space with the remaining percentage for green area such as a yard or a courtyard, and this has an impact on the building dimensions which will have an impact on the internal and external design. Many people live in industrial zones say in a residential apartment, for example, and you will find the height of the average story to be greater than if the structure is located in a residential zone. As well the materials requirements will also be much different as the load-bearing regulations will be different. Otherwise the height of a residential story is from ground to roof or floor to ceiling. chrismar
