Tech/Engineering - Architecture / floor plan
Swedish term or phrase: bakutrymmen
Again, floor plans showing various spaces (lifts, changing rooms, entrance, etc.)

I've seen "bakutrymmen" described somewhere as the area where you find things such as the WCs, changing rooms and kitchens, but how does the word "bakutrymmen" translate into English please? I'm sure "rear spaces or areas" would sound silly.
TIA asap.

Thanks roguestate - all good suggesions but this is the one that I went for. It wasn't obvious from the diagram whether said areas were in the back section of the premises but I think the types of use I indicated are covered by your answer.

accessory occupancy


Explanation:
Here are some references for this suggestion -- a good definition that seems to fit your term in the first related to the International Building Code. Some interesting reading and leads ... But seemingly not UK!?

neutral  Anna Herbst: Wouldn't "rear premises" more commonly refer to a dwelling, shop etc. at the rear of the main premises?

back of house areas


Explanation:
Another suggestion

4. The building to which the proposed building work relates is an existing single storey retail unit. Your client is a high street retailer trading predominantly in large domestic appliances and bulky goods. Approximately 75 per cent of the premises comprise a retail area, whilst the remaining 25 per cent back of house area contains staff, administrative and storage facilities.

Shopping environments
Characteristics and Types of Area
The back of house areas of shopping centres have a tendency to be a hidden world which is generally not accessible to the general public, but is integral to the operation and safety of the building. In a large shopping centre these areas will be used by several thousand shop staff, along with the management, maintenance, cleaning and security staff who assist with the operation of the centre. (p. 405 ff.)

back areas


Explanation:
I would simply say "back areas".

Example sentence(s):
  • Interchange - 6000m² of screeding and ceramic tiling to Shopping Malls, 2 no. Bus Concourses, Staircases and Back Areas.
  • You will be cleaning the shop floor, back areas and toilets
