No joke, some of the new building layouts are atrocious. Helping my cousin find a 1 BR apartment and saw this one the other day:
- Living/dining is tiny. There's nowhere really to put a TV in a position where you can put a couch without running out of room for a kitchen table.
- Bathroom is completely across the apartment from the bedroom
- Zero counter space
- Wasted like 50 sq ft on the WIC. I'd much rather have more space in the living/dining and a regular closet.
- Weird place for the washer/dryer as well, not to mention that the hallway in front of it is also wasted space...
I know it's a 500 sq ft 1 BR so there's only so much you can do, but I'd argue it's even more important to have an efficient, well thought out layout with small apartments. I had a 500 sq ft when I was training in Toronto that was actually quite functional... unlike this abomination.
