This is the exact picture of my building. (2) & (3) are raised flat surface. (3) is higher than (2) and (2) is higher than (1).

To go to the pool or building, I have to walk across (1), then walk on (2), then walk on (3). From (3), I can walk to the pool or inot the building.

Are (2) and (3) called "patio", "platform" or "level" in general?

Is (1) called "driveway"?

For example, "You are standing on the driveway, get on the patio".

Best Answer

In the USA the area you are showing is called a "patio" if it's in the back or side of the home. If it's in front it would likely be called a "porch".

Your photo appears to show it made of brick but if the raise area was constructed of wood or something that looked like wood you might also call it a "deck".

The lower area you are showing would be called "ground level" or if it's a part of something else "the driveway" or "the walk".
