Studio Apartments
A studio apartment, also known as a studio flat is a small apartment which combines a
number of rooms, often the living room, bedroom, and kitchen.
These kinds of apartments typically consist of one large room which serves as the living,
dining, and bedroom or may have a very small room for a bedroom. Kitchen facilities may
either be located in the central room, or in a small separate room, and the bathroom is usually
in its own smaller room.
The studio apartment is an apartment with a single room. They are also known as single-
room dwelling places or studio flats. There are several types available; the straight studio is
very basic, while the alcove studio has a wing. The wing or nook is off the main area, which
can be utilized for dining or sleeping. A studio apartment differs from a single room
occupancy (SRO) unit in that an SRO does not usually contain a kitchen or bathroom.
Size
Studio apartment sizes vary considerably. In the United States, the average size is 500 to 600
square feet (46-56 square meters)
Generally: Regardless of the physical structure of the exterior building, a studio
apartment is designed to be a single one room in which the bedroom, the kitchen, and any
dining or living room space has been engineered to fit into one open space. The only
separate room in the unit would be a bathroom. Some studios have an area that can be or
has been sectioned or separated for sleeping.
