No matter how the situation in the real estate market changes, apartments with a good layout are always in price and are in a logical demand for wealthy people. A few years ago, for obvious reasons, its area was the main criterion for the concrete of housing. That is, in an effort to forget about the Soviet heritage – cramped rooms, people who allowed the funds, sought to buy housing as much area as possible and equip it in the best way. The limit of dreams were new buildings, where the kitchen room was at least 25 m2, and the living room reached 60 m2. Trying to satisfy the requests of wealthy customers as much as possible, residential complexes with the corresponding sizes of apartments were rapidly erected. Most apartments occupied an area of 200 m2 and more. But over the years, “Priorities of customers in the acquisition of housing began to shift towards apartments with” human “sizes. And the modern real estate market defines today’s elite housing as three or four -room apartment in 150 m2. Two -room apartments are also in high and constant demand, the area of which is about 80 m2. However, there are “unshakable” characteristics of elite apartments: the presence of dressing rooms, several bathrooms, bedrooms. But compactness came to replace excessiveness. For example, there were a desire to have huge halls, exorbitant bedrooms in the past. Not the area, but the layout in the apartment, acquired much more importance. After all, little can be offered to the owner, for example, trapezoidal housing, since many space is simply useful to use. A new look at the layout of apartments allows you to take them to rooms with low functionality, such as a corridor or entrance of a minimum of space so that the living quarters do not cut out due to them. With this approach, 90% of the area occupy precisely the “useful” rooms: bedrooms and living rooms, with the right shape and good size. What is such an approach gives the final buyer? The answer is simple – saving on the cost of the apartment, and in the future – at utilities. It is possible with confidence to predict the further growth of interest in compact housing, the incentive of which will also be an innovation in the legislation, according to which apartment owners will need to pay tax based on the cadastral value of housing.
