If you bought a one-room apartment, but dream of a separate bedroom, then this can be done legally, only you need to understand that in any case you will have to sacrifice something.
How to get out of this situation with the least loss and not break the rules? The designer told Natalia Shirokorad.
6. Agree on redevelopment
The first thing to remember is that any deviation from the construction plan is a redevelopment that must be legalized in the housing inspection. This can be done through the MFC, the list of required documents can be clarified there before submitting.
5. Donate kitchen
In some cases, an isolated bedroom can be obtained at the expense of the kitchen area. That is, as a result of redevelopment, you will get an isolated bedroom and a very tiny kitchen. It is strictly forbidden to move the kitchen to the living room, so it will have to huddle in the corners of the apartment.
The easiest way is to move the kitchen into the corridor area, this is perfectly legal. The only limitation is that the riser of water supply and drainage must be outside the kitchen wall, because to lay the drain pipe from the sink to the screed (even if it is a new building and the screed thickness is 10 cm) is practically impossible.
4. Divide the kitchen
The second method is suitable for those whose original kitchen has an area of 15 m² and is an elongated rectangle in shape. In this case, you can divide the space in half: make a small kitchen near the riser (according to the norms, it should be at least 5 m²), and leave the bedroom near the window. A window can be made between the rooms so that natural light enters the kitchen.
3. Zone the room
It is possible to place the bedroom area in the back of the room, but in this case the bedroom will remain without a window. The space can be fenced off with a glass partition or curtain.
You can do the opposite: leave the living area without direct daylight. Light can enter this area through a window between the living room and bedroom or through a glass sliding partition.
2. Don't forget about the nuances
It is important to take into account a number of other points: the kitchen cannot be swapped with bathrooms, and the hood connection must not be changed. In addition, the exit from the only bathroom in the apartment cannot be in the living room, that is, the bathroom must open either into the hallway or into the corridor.
1. Use the balcony
To save space when designing a one-room apartment, you can insulate the balcony, if there is one, and arrange a dressing room there. So this area will work for you all year round and 100%. At the same time, it will allow you to make redevelopment with less losses.
