I guess it is country specific, maybe even depends on the city or state. In 
Germany the rule is: if the top most level with an "habitable room" (these are 
also defined but for our purposes this would be any room where people live or 
work, excluding storage and facilities) is more than 22m above the surrounding 
terrain it is a high rise.
This rule derives from the length of fire ladders.
