  That wiki says it’s common in hospitals and labs. Interstitial space is not the same as a floor cavity.

  Also

  The heights of these spaces are generally 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 m) and allow easy access for repair or alteration

  So yeah not common in a residential building.

    1.8m!? There’s no way in hell a landlord would allow such a perfectly fine living space to go the waste!

    Ah, thanks, I couldn’t seem to find the right term. I was looking for “truss space” or something related. “Floor cavity” or I guess “joist cavity” looks like what I was looking for.

    This bit has nothing to do with America, we don’t have that kind of space between floors in residential buildings, either. You have plenty of real things to shit on us for, but this isn’t one of them.

      It’s just that your buildings arn’t old. In Europe many floors have been thin plank layers until very recently, and we still couldn’t enlarge them much
