The word “studio” usually creates an instant picture: one compact room, minimal storage, a short-term stay and very little flexibility. That picture does not fit every project. At ONE7, the studio format is around 90 sqm, which is unusually generous for a studio and much closer to the scale people associate with a proper everyday home.

That extra space matters because a first home has to do more than look good in a brochure. It has to hold a normal day. There needs to be room to wake up without feeling boxed in, work or study when needed, host someone comfortably, store real belongings and still have enough visual breathing space for the home to feel calm.

For buyers who like open-plan living but do not want the compromises normally associated with a small studio, a larger footprint changes the entire proposition.

Size does not automatically make a home better, but it creates options. Around 90 sqm gives an open-plan residence the chance to behave more like a complete home: clearer zones for sleeping, relaxing, dining and working can coexist without every activity happening in the same corner.

This is especially relevant in Hurghada, where many buyers are comparing projects that were designed primarily around short stays. ONE7 is conceived as a first-home residential community, and its larger unit scale supports that direction. The studio is not treated as the smallest possible product; it is treated as a real residence within the wider community.

The result is a format that can appeal to a single professional, a couple, or anyone who prefers an open layout but still wants the comfort and proportions of a substantial home.

A successful studio depends on proportion more than labels. When the footprint is too tight, furniture becomes a puzzle and circulation becomes an afterthought. When there is more space, the layout can feel intentional rather than improvised.

ONE7 already places strong emphasis on generous layouts, low-rise architecture and fluid indoor-outdoor living. A larger studio fits naturally within that philosophy. It allows the home to remain open while still giving different parts of the day their own place.

That is also why buyers should look beyond bedroom count when comparing homes. A well-scaled studio can feel more comfortable than a poorly planned one-bedroom apartment if the actual space, flow and usable area are stronger.

Space is only one layer of daily living. ONE7 places the residence inside a broader community with wellness and fitness facilities, landscaped areas, family and leisure spaces, the Crystal Lagoon, retail, dining and social destinations. That wider setting matters when the goal is to live somewhere every day rather than visit occasionally.

The residence itself is also fully finished, continuing Kronberg’s focus on carefully selected materials and detailed execution. For a first-home buyer, that combination - generous space, a finished home and a community built around daily routines - is far more important than the word “studio” on a unit schedule.

This is where ONE7’s larger studio makes the most sense: not as a smaller alternative to a home, but as a different way to organize one.

A large studio can be a strong match for someone who values openness and flexibility more than having internal walls. It may suit a professional who works partly from home, a couple who prefers one generous living environment, or a buyer who wants a first home that feels easy to maintain without feeling small.

The choice still comes down to how you actually live. Some people prefer the separation of a one-bedroom residence. Others prefer a more open plan with fewer visual barriers. The important point is that around 90 sqm gives that choice enough space to feel residential, not temporary.

For anyone comparing apartments in Hurghada, it is worth looking at the actual area and layout before deciding what the word “studio” means.
