Two-room hybrid apartment in Sibiu or studio in Sibiu?

The progress of science, innovation in technology and globalization lead to a permanent change in the dynamics of the way of life. Naturally, global industries need to align with these new standards. The highest speed of change is observed in the automotive, pharmaceutical and technological industries.

The real estate segment in Sibiu is evolving. The studios, apartments, houses in Sibiu follow the same course.

At a much slower pace, the real estate industry is also changing (adapting). People's lifestyles, their habits, their leisure time have changed. Therefore, the needs that a home must meet have diversified. An apartment that was considered ideal in the '80s, today is no longer the best option for generation Y. Its area and distribution standards have changed.
With the money you would like to buy a studio, today you can buy a hybrid two-room apartment. The choice is yours.
Below we will try to present you the advantages and disadvantages of the two housing types.

In Sibiu, for example, generation Y chose the hybrid two-room apartment instead of the studio!
Generation Y architects, who are always looking to optimize the living comfort, have radically changed the distribution of the 37 sqm, a typical area of a comfort 1 studio. They created this housing model, which is located on the border between a studio and a two-room apartment.
Real estate developers in Sibiu, overwhelmed by the growing demand for hybrid two-room apartments, have significantly reduced the construction of comfort 1 studios.
Thus, the offer of new studios in Sibiu is smaller and smaller and the new two-room apartments in Sibiu (hybrid ones) are starting to dominate the real estate offer.

Comfort 1 Sibiu studio description:
According to the housing law, Law 114/1996, the comfort 1 studio is divided as follows:
Living room (18 sqm), dining area (2.5 sqm), kitchen (5 sqm), bathroom (4.5 sqm), hall (5sqm), storage space (2 sqm). Total usable area: 37 sqm.
In the past, people were not bothered by the fact that the living room was both the place to eat and spend time with guests, and the place to sleep. This was the only solution given that the apartment had only one room.

Two-room Sibiu apartment (hybrid) description:
The apartment is designed to comprise two main areas: the sleeping area (separate bedroom) and the living area (living room+kitchen). Thus, the sleeping area will no longer be, at the same time, the area to spend time with guests. The area is distributed as follows:
Living room+kitchen (18 sqm), bedroom (12 sqm), bathroom (4 sqm), storage space (3 sqm).

Differences between comfort 1 studio and two-room hybrid apartment.
The hallway, the separate kitchen and the dining area were renounced and a separate bedroom was created. The functions of the kitchen and the dining area were transferred to the living room, which also includes the kitchen. Basically, the detachment of the rooms was abandoned, but a bedroom was gained.

Which option is the best? Studio in Sibiu or two-room apartment in Sibiu?
The answer of the real estate agencies from Sibiu to the question: „Which option is better?” is that there is no generally valid option, because the lifestyles differ. What seems optimal to me may not meet the comfort requirements of other people.
For example, the life of a young student in Sibiu is completely different from the life of a pensioner. The young person really needs a bedroom, the pensioner doesn't. The young person will choose a two-room apartment in Sibiu, the pensioner will choose a studio in Sibiu. For a family with a child, with a limited budget, the option of a hybrid two-room apartment is much better, because the parents can sleep in the living room and the child in the bedroom. In a comfort 1 studio, all family members would have to sleep in the living room.

The purpose of this article is not to determine which option is the best, but to provide you with all the information that can help you make the right decision that suits your needs and possibilities.
The same is true when choosing a car: for a young person, the ideal car would be a sports car. For a family with children, the ideal car would be a car with seven seats and a large trunk. It is wrong to say that the sports car is better or worse than the big car. Both options are equally good. Each person will be able to decide according to their needs, desires, standard of living and material possibilities.
