 Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2009 6:08 am Post subject: Loft Style Officetel or One Room/Studio Officetel |
 |
|
Would like to hear personal opinions if you got them.
Cant decide on which one to move in to.
From what ive heard the Loft Style Officetels, the upper part of the Officetel where the bed usually goes gets rather during the summer...and the bedroom ceiling is rather low, so cant really walk around...
do they make Lofts with high bedroom ceilings?
and havent really heard anything bad about the One rooms, other than your bed being in the same room as everything else...
Any help is appreciated! THANKS |

A one room (studio) is often a loft style officetel without the loft. They are often the same price as well.
I have a loft but I have mates in the same building without the loft, there is no way I would trade. Sure I can't stand up in my bedroom (loft) and it does get hot (fan and aircon fix that), but I can keep my sleeping area seperate from my living area. It's easy to put curtains up to block the light out |

| Loft style saves space, but is odd living. The studio style is much much better. (My opinion) Have only had studio office tels, but was shown many many loft style ones, and went naturally for the studio style. |

| It feels like being on the bottom of a bunk bed - the loft style. The enclosed environment. |

| If you aren't claustrophobic I'd recommend the loft style. I have a regular studio, and my gf a loft style studio - and having a separate living room area to watch tv and hang out with friends is really nice. It can get a little hot in the summer, but not a whole lot hotter - nothing that a fan can't fix. It just seems that having a loft saves you a lot of space, and makes it a lot nice to have people over. |

This is pretty much what you're looking at... except for the first loft has an amazing view of Seoul. I wouldn't expect to get that.
I prefer the loft because it opens up a lot more space, but you also don't have much room in the sleeping area. Little trade-off there.
Cheers.

Don't you know you're not supposed to sleep with the fan turned on?  |

| i've had both, and i definitely prefer the one room studio. i can't walk upright in my loft and since i don't have a couch downstairs, the loft is where i spend most of my time in my apartment. |

This is my loft |
Looking good! So how do you like living in a loft? Mind telling me what you like and dislike? Can you fully stand up in the top part of your place? |

To me the likes out ways the dislikes. I can't stand up but I can sit on my bed with plenty of head room or use a bench press
Likes
-living area in a different area from sleeping area
-nice and warm in winter
-easy to block out light
-friends don't sit on my bed when i have people round.
-don't have to make my bed
dislikes
-banging my head while drunk (I'm on the top floor so i have extra beams to bang into)
-glossy dark floor upstairs is a dust magnet
-constant fear of falling down my stairs, dying and people finding my rotten corpse weeks later (my boss doesn't know where I live, no girlfriend and I have a terrible rep for going off the wire for a week or two.)
get's hot in summer but my aircon works well as does a fan |

Beomgye (opp. acro)
5 million down 650,000 a month or 10,000,000 down 600,000.
This is an 18 pyeong apartment. there are also 14, 22, 27 and one size bigger i think. Rooms with a loft are the same as ones without, don't know why.
If you have any questions feel free to ask. |
