The diagram illustrates the design and features of two student housing options available in Australia: one intended for two occupants and the other intended for a single resident.
Overall, the dual-occupancy room is more spacious and furnished with additional amenities, resulting in a higher rental price compared to the single-occupancy room.
In terms of dimensions, both accommodations share a length of 6 meters. However, the dual-occupancy room is wider, measuring 4 meters across, whereas the single-occupancy room is narrower at 2.5 meters, which contributes to the disparity in weekly rental costs ($350 versus $200).
For a weekly rate of $350, a student can share a 6-meter by 4-meter room with another resident. The bathroom is situated in the left corner of the space. Kitchen appliances, including a sink, stove, and microwave, are located in the bottom left corner. Adjacent to the microwave is a television, positioned opposite a dining table and chairs. The room includes two beds, each accompanied by a study desk; the first bed is placed in the top right corner, while the second is in the bottom right corner. Additionally, a bookshelf is situated between the bathroom and one of the study desks.
In contrast, the single room, priced at $200 per week, features a more streamlined layout. This accommodation measures 6 by 2.5 meters. The bathroom is located in the top left corner, opposite the kitchen appliances. A television is positioned next to the study desk, and finally, a bed is placed in the right corner of the room near the windows.
