Why layout matters on New Boulevard 📐
Layout defines how you live in a home every day. On New Boulevard you'll find a range of new-build apartments: compact studios, family-sized flats and more flexible open-plan options. Even in attractive buildings, poor internal planning can make a unit uncomfortable, costly to renovate and harder to sell or rent.
Common mistakes and how to spot them 🚩
-
Inefficient zoning.
- Problem: kitchen cut off by a narrow corridor, living areas fragmented into small rooms.
- Solution: prefer plans with an open kitchen-living area or the potential to combine rooms — it increases usability and rental appeal.
-
Weak natural light or awkward window placement.
- Problem: bedrooms face a narrow courtyard with little daylight.
- Solution: choose rooms with good daylight. If light is limited, plan light finishes, mirrors and lighting layers to improve the feel.
-
Narrow hallways and walk-through bedrooms.
- Problem: to access the main bedroom you must pass through another living area.
- Solution: prioritise privacy — if true separation is missing, consider whether the price and the possibility of legal reconfiguration justify the purchase.
-
Poor wet-area planning.
- Problem: bathroom and kitchen too far apart, complicating plumbing and raising renovation cost.
- Solution: look for layouts where wet zones are close or aligned; this reduces complexity and cost.
-
Lack of storage and small kitchens.
- Problem: kitchen cannot fit essential appliances and storage.
- Solution: check for built-in storage opportunities and space for vertical storage in corridors and niches.
How to assess a layout during a viewing — checklist 📋
- Walk the likely daily paths: entry to kitchen, bedrooms to bathrooms — are they convenient?
- Evaluate daylight at different times of day.
- Think about furniture: will a full-size bed, wardrobe and sofa fit comfortably?
- Ask about ceiling heights and possibilities for built-in systems.
- Check whether the developer offers alternate layouts in the same block and the rules for approved changes.
Examples of effective layout choices ✅
- An open-plan kitchen with an island or bar creates a flexible social core without losing distinct zones.
- Built-in hallway wardrobes and niches add valuable storage without reducing living area.
- Aligning bathroom and kitchen walls simplifies plumbing and lowers renovation cost.
- A balcony facing green space or a quiet courtyard increases long-term desirability.
When to consider reconfiguration and when to avoid it 🛠️
- Consider reconfiguration if the current layout prevents normal living: walk-through bedrooms, inability to place essential furniture, no clear kitchen-dining area.
- Avoid major changes that require altering load-bearing walls or heavy structural work unless you have budget and permissions.
- Always confirm what is allowed with the developer and local authorities before buying.
Practical advice for buyers and investors 🧭
- Review the floor plan and the whole floor layout: elevator and stair placement, waste chutes and service rooms affect noise and circulation.
- Compare similar layouts in different buildings: small savings on square meters can cost you daily comfort.
- For rental investments, choose simple, versatile layouts — studios and one- or two-bedroom units with clear kitchen-living arrangements rent more easily.
- Think long-term: a well-planned apartment keeps value and attracts better tenants.
What to do on the spot during a viewing 🕵️♀️
- Bring a tape measure or use an app to check key dimensions for furniture.
- Photograph the plan and superimpose your furniture mentally or with notes.
- Ask the agent or developer about alternative layouts in the same building and about legal constraints.
