In a 493 SF studio apartment, the largest room is the living room, which covers a total area of 12’2 x 20’9.” The living room is strategically designed with a combination of an open center that is conducive to social activities and gatherings, as well as several semi-private spaces that can be used for quieter activities like reading, working or studying, and sleeping.
