Tworoomandkitchen

Tworoomandkitchen is a housing layout designation used in real estate to describe a dwelling with two main rooms in addition to a separate kitchen. The two rooms typically function as a living room and a bedroom, though they may be used for other purposes such as a dining area or study. The kitchen is usually a distinct, enclosed space rather than part of an open-plan layout. Ancillary spaces commonly found in this configuration include a hallway or corridor, a bathroom, and sometimes a separate toilet and a balcony or storage area.

Size and variability commonly place tworoomandkitchen units in the range of roughly 40 to 60 square meters (430 to 650 square feet), though sizes vary by country, city, and building era. The exact arrangement of the two rooms can differ: in one version, one room serves as a living space and the other as a bedroom; in another, the two rooms may be equal in size or adaptable for flexible use. The kitchen’s size and proximity to living areas can also differ, with some layouts offering a dining nook or a small dining area adjacent to the kitchen.

Market context and use: This configuration is popular for singles, couples, or small families seeking separate living and cooking areas without the footprint of a larger apartment. Advantages include greater separation of living and sleeping spaces and typically lower cost than larger units, while limitations include limited bedrooms and storage compared with larger layouts.

Labeling and classification of tworoomandkitchen units vary by country, with listings sometimes calling them two-room with a separate kitchen (2K or similar) to distinguish from studios or multi-room apartments.
