Bedroom Apartments For Rent

Studio Apartments

Studio apartment, or an Efficiency apartment or bachelor style apartment is a self-contained, small apartment, which combines living room, bedroom and Kitchenette into a single unit, barring a bathroom.

Studio efficiency, bedsit and bachelor-style apartments all tend to be the tiniest apartments with the lowest rents in a given area, usually with an area of around 300 to 600 square feet (25-60 m²). These kinds of apartments usually consist mainly of a large room which serves as the living, dining, and bedroom. There are usually kitchen facilities as part of this central room or sometimes a small separate kitchen, but the bathroom is its own smaller separate room.

Studio apartments, in the context of Singapore's public housing, refers to flats that are specifically built by Housing and Development Board to cater for the growing senior citizen population, although there is growing popularity among young working singles.

Each unit in studio apartments have sufficient room for one or two persons, and have features that are specifically included to ensure the safety and convenience of the elderly that are not usually seen in other HDB flats. This includes individual alarm run by voluntary organizations to alert emergency services, hospital bed elevators, and communal areas for light sport.

Alcove (through the Spanish, alcova, from the Arabic, al-, the, and quobbah, a vault) is an architectural term for a recess in a room, usually screened off by pillars, balustrade or drapery. Though their apartment lacked a dining room, an alcove adjacent to the living room made for an adequate ambience for dinner.
