Sure, there's a lot of doors, but there's also a lot of empty space. The whole structure could be at least half the size if doors were stored in the middle and not just along the walls.

** The cavernous core of Cloud City in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''. Note that if you wanted to have an actual "Cloud City" in a gas giant's (or rather Venus-like) atmosphere, this would be the way to go -- basically, you would have the whole city as one huge airship floating far above the surface with little work needed to maintain it (and without explosive decompression/implosive? compression if you get a rupture in the hull, not to mention not having to use such strong materials in the first place). Obviously though, Cloud City from ''SW'' wasn't built like this (open views and active propulsion to maintain altitude) ...

** A justified example is the monster holding facility in [[{{Area51}} Area 52]]. It was meant to house thousands of monsters of various sizes. The "unnecessarily" part comes from the fact that it never seems to house more than a handful at any given time. It would be necessary for any time they wanted or needed to move Insectasaurus.

** Starfleet ships in the reboot ''[[Film/StarTrek2009 Star Trek]]'' movies. The use of real world locations like the National Ignition Facility as filming sets results in the impression that the ship interiors are mostly empty space.

The ''Enterprise'' even has a huge multi-story atrium that serves no apparent purpose other than RuleOfCool (and a place for people to be tossed around when the ship goes out of control).

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'': Strictly, this is an unnecessarily large ''exterior'', but the garden of Hakugyokurou in the Netherworld is well over 1000 kilometers long.

The Scarlet Devil Mansion's library is also known to be quite large (and BiggerOnTheInside), but whether it actually qualifies as this trope is unclear.

* The [[UsefulNotes/AncientRome Roman Empire]] positively adored this trope. As the first hardcore users of the monumental arch, the dome, concrete and other innovations that allowed for construction of mega-structures, they loved to show off their power by building structures with massively spacious interiors. Buildings like the Baths of Caracalla, the Pantheon and Hagia Sophia were designed specifically to awe people with vast, open, interior spaces. The Gothic Cathedral architecture mentioned above was itself inspired by Roman architecture.
