The differences between flats, apartments, and studio flats

Over the last decade, we have worked on all sorts of structures, including those belonging to the residential and commercial sectors. Anyone who is after a first class job should consider working with us.

If you’re planning to construct a studio or regular flat, or an apartment complex, then you should know what you’re doing. In terms of living in them, the three aren’t too dissimilar. However, some distinctions set them apart. Let us explain.

What are the differences?

The difference between flats and apartments is that the latter is a self-contained personal address existing inside a bigger building. Similarly, flats include a series of rooms. In contrast to an apartment though, everything typically resides on one level. There is a multitude of apartment and flat types for you to pick from. The list includes one and multi-bedroom, duplexes, loft or basement apartments, and penthouses.

Studio flats

Studio flats are in another league entirely. Apartments have distinctly dedicated and presented rooms. Normally, for studio flats, there will be a single space that includes a kitchen-diner, a bedroom and a living area.

Studio flats are smaller, and architects design them with new renters, couples, and young professionals in mind. This is because they are generally in the market for something more cost effective that still allows them to live centrally.

At Coffey Architects, we understand that homes need to support the manners in which their owners relax, matching their lifestyle. From this, we take control, decipher your desires, and communicate them in enjoyable fashions. This makes us an architect London based clients always love working with.
