proportion
This Harlem 1 Bedroom lists decent square footage, but the room sizes feel wrong. What proportion problem does the plan reveal?
Harlem one-bedroom apartments in pre-war buildings sometimes have a bedroom that occupies a disproportionately large share of the total floor area, leaving the combined kitchen and living space too compact to function effectively. These plans reflect older building configurations designed for single occupancy where the primary use case was a private bedroom suite rather than a balanced layout for shared living or entertaining.
