Since it spans the whole floor space there must be a massive cavity in there

HVAC, water, elevator machinery same as any tall building.
Except I've seen plenty that did with just a hut
I wonder if anyone has a picture of the empty space up top
I think it's a design thing. It's possible to do with just a hut, but the architect thought it would look better if the entire floor was level.
Those types have the ground level, then a service level, then the "first" floor.
Probably not as tall or no central air dunno
And the drying room for clothes
I thought that was usually in the basement. Haven't personally lived in one of these though
The basement is for storing your winter supplies like jars of jam, pickled.. anything.... and the various alcoholic concoctions. Some have also a room for storing bikes and strollers.
The basement has storage spaces.
