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

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.
