I don't know where you got that definition, but it is wrong. Dictionary.com, which I believe we can call a good, accurate definition site, says...
1. a horizontal surface or structure with a horizontal surface raised above the level of the surrounding area.
2. a raised flooring or other horizontal surface, such as, in a hall or meeting place, a stage for use by public speakers, performers, etc.
3. the raised area between or alongside the tracks of a railroad station, from which the cars of the train are entered.
4. the open entrance area, or the vestibule, at the end of a railroad passenger car.
5. a landing in a flight of stairs.
Although you could argue that a higher floor is indeed a platform, it does not make logical sense. If your area where your poit of view resisde is walled off, you can think of it as its own area, meaning it is not a platform.
