enclosed space
Walled-off interior region
An enclosed space is an area surrounded by walls, barriers, or boundaries that limit access and airflow.
The term appears in safety contexts for confined areas like tanks, silos, or cargo holds where ventilation is restricted: Workers must test enclosed spaces for toxic gases before entry.
More generally, any bounded interior qualifies: The concert hall felt like an enclosed space packed with bodies.
