DEF

(...) espace existant dans les parois des bâtiments (murs, cloisons, planchers, plafonds) accessibles seulement à certains emplacements.

OBS

Malgré ce que dit la source ROBER 1985 (vol. 9, p. 728), ne pas confondre avec le terme "vide d'air" (en anglais "air space").

OBS

Bien qu'entérinés par des codes du bâtiment, les équivalents "vide dissimulé" et "espace caché" sont impropres et constituent des calques du terme anglais.
