Dispozice bytu (apartment layout) is a Czech system for describing floor plans: 1+kk, 2+kk, 3+1. Ukrainians often misunderstand this more than anything else in the housing market.
How to read the description
- The number before «+» is the number of living rooms (obytné místnosti). The kitchen is not included in this number.
- «kk» = kuchyňský kout, a kitchenette. This is part of a room, not a separate room.
- «1» after «+» = a separate kitchen as its own room.
Explanation in simple terms
- 1+kk — one room with a kitchenette. A studio apartment.
- 1+1 — one room plus a separate kitchen.
- 2+kk — two rooms, with a kitchenette in one of them.
- 3+1 — three rooms plus a separate kitchen. Effectively four rooms.
🔴 The main trap
2+kk and 2+1 are not the same. Both have two rooms, but 2+1 also has a separate kitchen — meaning the apartment is larger. Similarly, 3+1 is more spacious than 3+kk with the same "three" in the name.
