The home itself
The studio occupies the fourth floor of the building and has a volume of 142 m³. The interior is compact but functional, with the living space flowing into a separate bedroom. The kitchen and bathroom are both present, and the balcony offers outdoor space. The home is heated by a central heating boiler, and the double glazing helps with insulation. The homeowners' association fee covers the shared maintenance of the building. The property is part of a complex built in 1984, so the layout reflects the design of that era.
