Know your 1-BHKs from Studios and Penthouses from Lofts (Part 2)

One of the basic necessities, having a home to call our own is still as important as it was years ago. Though shortage of land has created a challenge for builders to provide a place for everyone within their budget, the introduction of flats or apartments have successfully bridged the gap of buying/renting a property.

With many types of flats/apartments from studio, junior or 1-2-3-BHK apartments, etc., for low budget and garden apartments, convertibles, live/work apartments, etc., to meet the need of small families available, we today have a number of options to choose from. Here we have brought together information on few types of apartments so that you can choose the one best for you:

Penthouse apartments, are generally built atop the roof mostly as single-occupancy living space. In addition to the location and safety advantage, these offer luxurious wide space as well as fine views over the cityscape. Easy and private access to the rooftop terrace is like the added icing. You can own a penthouse in the bustling heart of the city and yet be assured of your peace of mind. There is ample of natural light in penthouse apartments and the terrace can be used for barbeque get-togethers, jacuzzi or office space.

Duplex or Triplex apartments, consist of space on two or three (respectively) adjoining units, vertically connected with an interior space. Generally, the upper area is used for bedrooms and lower space as living space and kitchen. These are a good option for joint-families who need spacious accommodation as well as a privacy of their own.

Lofts, are the uppermost storey (like an attic) just below the roof of the building. Generally adapted from former war-houses or industrial buildings, they possess vintage-kind charm with industry-type details such as wooden floors, raw brick walls and high ceilings. Walls of these apartments can be styled with unique artwork as per one’s taste. Their open layout and ample natural lighting usually amuses those who are into conventional dwelling options.

Explore as many options as you can and then choose the one which fits your search criteria. After all, there is no place more comforting as our homes.
