Spanish term

protege el espacio de entrada en planta baja

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Architecture
En la planta superior, destinada a uso de noche, se sitúan el dormitorio principal con baño completo, un dormitorio doble, otro baño y un dormitorio sencillo, que actúa de pieza puente y ***protege el espacio de entrada en planta baja.***

Maybe it's just that it's late, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what they mean, since this room is on the planta superior and not the planta baja. Any help appreciated!
Proposed translations (English)
4 +1 protects the access area on the ground floor

protects the access area on the ground floor

Architects like "access"

The way I imagine it, the bedroom is a sort of bridge, possibly connecting another "block" of the house, and providing a roof for the access area.

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Access is acceso (and I had plenty of those in the doc. without adding another one!), but the idea of "providing a roof" was the explanation I needed, and you were the first to suggest it (the interpretation was confirmed by the client). I ended up using "sheltering the entrance area" rather than protecting. Thanks to everyone who participated."

neutral Patrick Regini : dulce!! Que lindo que algunos quieran ayudar y no anden copitiendo como otros con demasiado "attitude". Overlook = Estar por encima mirando. Esto era el caso de una "habitacion puente" :o)

thus covering the front entrance space below

Translated according to it's place in the sentence ( didn't mean to do that! :) ) I would suggest this phrasing for you. What it says is that the room functions as a bridge covering the front porch.

Ooops! forgot to delete my remark in parenthesis! -I put that because before I had the word \"phrase\" instead of \"sentence\"; and it rimed.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Sol : I would agree, but I already said "covers" :) By the way, thanks for your nice NEUTRAL comment.
