Is it realistic to live in an apartment of 7 sq m

If it seems that there are no apartments in size as a bathroom, then this is a misconception. In Japan, capsule apartments have long been sold, and in the center of Rome a living room with all amenities of 7 square meters is rented. m. Is there such housing in Russia? Yes, there is, only the quadrature of mini-apartments starts from 8 sq.m. Is it possible to live in such an environment?

Minimum furniture

The very first small apartments appeared from developers in Novosibirsk, an area of ​​8 square meters. m Initially, they were sold as storerooms, but some decided that it was quite possible to live there. The stingers get by with the tiles, and the sleeping place is placed above the kitchen area. Someone manages to acquire a bathroom and steal precious meters of living space.

In order to at least somehow live in comfort on such a small area, you need to carefully consider the design. It is logical that in such apartments only the most necessary is contained: a stove, a dining area, a small closet for things, a berth, a toilet and a shower. It is most logical to place a bed under the ceiling, so there is a place on the floor for other things. Instead of a full-fledged stove, you can put the electric tile on the windowsill, and in one of the corners place a dining table, which can be made in the form of a bedside table for storing edible products. Instead of a conventional refrigerator, you can order a built-in refrigeration cabinet, which will be three times smaller than a conventional unit. Only a shower stall and a toilet can be placed in the bathroom.

How many squares are needed for a comfortable stay

Of course, apartments up to 10 square meters. m is an extreme type of housing. In such an area it is impossible to live long and remain satisfied with the conditions, the walls in the literal and figurative sense will crush. According to general standards, comfort for one person starts from 17 square meters. m and this is only the living area.

But it is important to look not only at the footage, but also at the layout and amount of functional area. In Russia, large apartments have traditionally been built, in which up to 35% of squares cannot be normally used. At present, many designers and planners focus on the ergonomics of housing, which reduces up to 20% of the area without loss of functionality. For example, a bedroom that includes all amenities: a large TV, wardrobe, bed, bedside tables, is placed on no more than 10 square meters. m

Moreover, more often people are willing to sacrifice squares for a lower offer price. Therefore, developers and developers are launching many projects with small areas due to high demand.
