Hi guys, I would like to know two architectural exressions in English. A friend of mine is putting together a resume about his works and we don't know how to say these in English.

1. The first one is when you have an attic under a roof which so far has been empty and now you build it in so there are now flats or apartments of whatever in that attic space. What is the official architectural term for that?
2. The second one is when you have an existing building with so many stories and you build one or more additional stories on top of those? What is the term for that one?

Thanks
Laszlo
