Hello!

In my current bedroom, the original kitchen, there's a built-in wardrobe. It's the old pantry that's been converted into a wardrobe.

The idea is to completely remove the wardrobe, which is built of slag stone, to make room for a larger bed since there will be two of us in the apartment.

Now to the problem, when I removed the very last bit of wood inside the wardrobe, it seems that there's an inner ceiling built with slag stone about half a meter below the main ceiling.

Has anyone encountered something like this before? Attached are a couple of pictures.
 
  • Old cupboard space with exposed slag stone ceiling and visible pipes, showing cracks and construction details, likely in renovation process.
  • Ceiling made of slag stone with visible pipes, partially exposed during renovation in an old kitchen turned into a bedroom closet.
  • Old kitchen ceiling made of slag stone with exposed bricks and pipes, possibly used as a built-in wardrobe ceiling, partially dismantled.
What's above? Is there a floor drain or any other drainage-related thing from the apartment above?
 
Hello!
It shouldn't be, the cabinet has been a cool space with drafts from basement to attic. In many cases, it's been completely removed like with the neighbor below me.
 
What supplies the plumbing and potable water for the stack? Does the neighbor above have any toilet/kitchen overhead?
 
Yes, it supplies my apartment and probably the ones above with water and sewage. In my apartment, the kitchen has been moved from this room to the adjacent one, so there is sewage and water in a box along the wall.

I will go up and check with the neighbor how it looks in their apartment. If the cold storage/closet is gone there. It is gone in the apartment below at least.
