Apartment layout (dispozice): 1+kk, 2+1 and more
The layout tells you how many rooms a flat has and how the kitchen is arranged. A 2+kk flat has two rooms, one of which includes a kitchenette. In a 2+1, the kitchen is a separate room. On its own, this label tells you nothing about the flat's size or whether any rooms are walk-through.
Also known as: 2+kk, 2+1, 1+kk, kitchenette (kuchyňský kout), floor plan
How to read the number and abbreviation
A 1+kk usually means one living room with a kitchenette. A 1+1 has a living room and a separate kitchen. Bathrooms, toilets and hallways don't count towards the number of rooms. The abbreviation kk stands for kuchyňský kout (kitchenette), not an extra separate room.
Don't treat the estate agents' label as a full technical description, though. Statistics may count rooms differently. The Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ), for example, counts a separate kitchen as a habitable room in the census. So don't compare such figures directly with the title of a listing.
Why the floor plan matters too
Two flats both labelled 2+kk can work in completely different ways. One may offer a separate bedroom, space for a dining table and plenty of storage. The other may lose most of its floor area to a corridor, or have a room you have to walk through to reach the rest of the flat.
So besides the layout, compare the floor area, room dimensions, how the rooms connect and how much daylight they get. To give you an idea: a compact 45 m² 2+kk can be more practical for a couple than a poorly divided 55 m² 2+1. This isn't a general rule about property value. What matters is the specific floor plan and the needs of the people who will live there. Neither “kk” on its own nor a smaller floor area guarantees a higher investment return.
When preparing a flat for rent, it pays to show a clear floor plan alongside the photos. Prospective tenants can then judge more easily whether the flat will suit their everyday life, not just their furniture.
