My wife and I having dinner in our old place. The camera is sitting on the fridge in the "kitchen" (pictured below). You can just barely see our bed in the lower left corner, and a ladder leading up to our modest loft on the right. This is a 1R (w/ loft) in Japanese lingo. We'd probably call it a studio apartment, but here it's a one room. Slightly larger would be a 1K, or one room plus a kitchen. We now live in a 2DK (two rooms plus a third room that is big enough to be considered a dining room and kitchen rolled into one).
