Apartment layouts. Explanation of abbreviations, their pros and cons

It is no secret that city apartment buildings were built in accordance with certain standard series in order to obtain minimum costs and terms. Thus, most of the city's houses are identical and have a very small choice of apartment layouts and construction technologies. New houses built by private companies are a completely different matter. Each house is individual, and apartment layouts vary depending on the wishes of the buyer. Below we will talk about the pros and cons of different types of layouts.

In the case of new houses, things are completely different. Each company is a developer (List of partners) develops its own layout of apartments, ranging from studios to penthouses with terraces on several levels. Moreover, during the construction stage, almost all companies provide buyers with the opportunity to develop their own room design, combine certain rooms, or, conversely, make several from one space. This allows you to create a room exactly in the form that the client wanted, helps to make the most efficient use of all the space, without leaving “voids,” and also to arrange it depending on the needs, number of residents, etc.
