unit A floor plan

unit B floor plan

unit A floor corridor


unit B floor corridor


In the first two floor plans, the area of unit A and B look not so much different while they have different layout. Both of them have three bedrooms but the number of bathrooms are different. 

Another difference between them is the size of corridor and how it works. In unit A, the corridor is only a shared space among bedrooms. After the entrance foyer, you have to go through the living room to go other rooms. However, in the unit B, entrance foyer is continuing as shared corridor deeper into bedrooms, bathrooms and living room. 

Although unit A has more bathrooms and larger living/dining room, possibly people can feel unit B is larger when they visit because of the longer corridor. Longer corridor means the more time and more space people would have to use to move from one place to others, which returns a perception of larger space.

So which unit I might choose? I might choose unit A because of the terrace in the living room. Or might be unit B because of the longer corridor like gallery.

King's College Chapel


King's College Chapel is the chapel at King's College in the University of Cambridge. It is considered one of the finest examples of late Perpendicular Gothic English architecture.[3] The chapel was built in phases by a succession of kings of England from 1446 to 1515, a period which spanned the Wars of the Roses. The chapel's large stained glass windows were not completed until 1531, and its early Renaissance rood screen was erected in 1532–36. The chapel is an active house of worship, and home of the King's College Choir. The chapel is a significant tourist site and a commonly used symbol of the city of Cambridge. - Wikipedia
