Non-Regularly Occupied Space
Non-Regularly Occupied Space is a term used within the field of architecture to refer to an area or structure that is not often used, or is rarely used. This usually applies to larger structures such as public buildings, or areas that are considered too large to be used in a daily basis. These areas are usually designed with the intention of being used less frequently, or to provide a particular area of interest to visitors. These spaces often provide a unique challenge to an architect, as they require an understanding of the purpose of the space and its intended use, as well as an understanding of the aesthetic and functional needs of the space. In many cases, the design of the space must be tailored to the particular needs of the user.

Non-Regularly Occupied Space
Non-Regularly Occupied Space is an area of a building or structure which, in the context of architecture, is not used by occupants on a daily or regular basis. Examples of such spaces include storage rooms, utility closets and mechanical spaces. These spaces are not necessarily part of the primary living space and are generally used only intermittently. Non-regularly occupied spaces are commonly found in multi-family dwellings, commercial buildings and industrial facilities.
