‘Studio’ is a term that refers to a space for filming and taking pictures with specialized equipment. However, in the field of real estate, the term ‘studio’ has a completely different meaning. It refers to an apartment without partitions between the sleeping area and the living area, so the size of studio apartments is quite small. However, this type of apartment still features full basic functions from living room, kitchen, sleeping space, to bathroom.
Studio apartment is also known as Bachelor apartment or Efficiency apartment. The area sizes vary considerably by country, but here in Vietnam it ranges from 25 to 65m2.
