What Makes Studio Apartments The Perfect Place

With a decline in demand for commercial property and introduction of smaller residential projects, now is the perfect time to buy a studio apartment in the city.

The layout of a studio apartment is very simple, yet unique in every way. Known in the United Kingdom as a studio flat, bachelor apartment or an efficiency apartment, it offers the perfect space for those looking to live alone, or in a small family. In most cases, efficiency or bachelor flats are smaller in size when compared to a studio flat. The concept was introduced to meet the demands of those with minimalistic housing needs, and those looking to start from smaller houses and shift to larger homes, eventually. However, the advent of new residential projects in Mumbai and other top metropolitan cities in India, has resulted in a visible increase in demand for more and more 'One-room kitchen apartments' (which is the alternate term for a studio apartment in India).

A Studio apartment is generally made of a single room, with one hall-cum-bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom attached. Such apartments are considerably small in size, ranging anywhere from 200 to 450 sq. ft. The total space available is about 15-40 metres. The kitchen can either be located in the hall, or in an adjoining room, with a separate bathroom. Thanks to its compact design and superior accessibility, many well-known builders and contractors are now resorting to development of larger one-room kitchen projects, instead of focusing on introduction of upmarket commercial property in Mumbai and other developed cities in India. This has resulted in the availability of larger, cost-effective studio flats in Thane and other Mumbai suburbs, and in the NCR area around Delhi.
