Studio with a sleeping alcove

The bed sits in an alcove off the living room, so the room reads as two spaces without a wall. A short entry hall leads past the bathroom.

What counts

What counts in the square footage

Apartments are usually listed by the area inside the walls, so that is the main number here. The outside measure, with the walls, is shown as well: ask how a listing was measured before you compare.

Each room is measured inside its walls. The finished area of a house is measured to the outside of the exterior walls (ANSI Z765), so it is larger than the rooms added up.

Questions

Studio apartment floor plan: questions

About these studio apartment plans. Can’t find your answer? Send us a message.

What is a good size for a studio apartment?

Most studios are between about 400 and 600 sq ft. Our two plans have 491 and 499 sq ft inside the walls.

Is a studio apartment big enough for 2 people?

It can be, if the bed has its own corner, like the alcove plan here, and the kitchen has room for a table for two. Draw your own furniture in the editor to check.

Can I change these plans?

Yes. Click Open in the editor under a plan and it opens as your own plan in the Squaremetry editor, with the same numbers as on this page. Move a wall and every area and the total update.

Is this a construction drawing?

No. This is an example floor plan, not a construction drawing. The Squaremetry team drew it for this page; it has no address. For a permit you need drawings from a qualified designer.
