What are the dimensions (sq footage) of the homes in qatar? thanks.

sorry for the hijack...

everyone is right..dimensions vary so much here that it would be basically impossible to tell you what size the rooms are..unless you know the name of the compound you will be living in, happysw

I have no doubts that you aren't a wallflower...you crack me up on here.. Was pulling Da's leg with his comments on the tall person at the bowling alley...not often we get to crank his chain with some of his own comments..Besides..he could probably put you in his pocket..he might have tried but you were too quick...lol

and do I know Da? yep...which is why I said what I did..but I'll run fast when I see him next or he'll whap me on the head...

OK - here's my question. What is the approximate square footage and/or square meter size of the following type of villa:

1. In a compound.

2. In a relatively nice area of Doha

3. With 4 bedrooms.

4. Monthly rent between 18K and 25k QAR

5. May or may not be provided as part of a company package (for example, QG).

anyone?

What she thought it might have been a certain norm but when she comes she will understand herself sunshine.

In Germany you can ask how many sqare metres the house has and how many rooms etc. and you can even get a plan. In Japan where they are living nearly in a carboard box the villa or house size here will be tremendous.

She was talking about furniture and how to fit that in her house, she has no idea what size of house she will get here and thought that there was a general norm methinks.

you calling canary dear. damn she is a street fighter :/

but there is NO such thing like certain "shape and sizes" of house HERE or anywhere! there are millions of different sizes everywhere in the world!

even after she "specified" her question it still doesn't make a sense to me. She wants to know if the room is enough for 2 kids or only for 1??? what kind of question is that?

Somebody lives alone in 5-bed room villa, somebody shares the same villa with 25 other persons...

are all the houses the same in her country?? ALL of them have standard size? Everyone in her country fits a certain amount of kids per room??what is that bs??

The question had logic behind it, as this person will be coming first time how can she know what shape and sizes the floors have but she was thinking very clearly when she posted the question namely on what furniture will fit in how much space. The question was logical for me anyway.

By anonymous• 10 Jan 2008 14:38

I was right about the furniture layout an about the room sizes - experience boy you see.

By qatarisun• 10 Jan 2008 14:31
qatarisun

"there are no norms here "?? there are NO NORMS anywhere!

doesn't this person know that the size of houses might be from the "dog kennel" till the king's palace? what kind of question is that?

Yes, I moving to Qatar. Yes I would like to know approximate sq. ft. due to furniture layout for a 3 or 4 bedroom house, villa, etc.

Do the master bedrooms tend to be large? I have children. Are the other rooms large enough for 2 kids in one room. Or too small so that only 1 child will be comfortable. Then I will know I need to look at a 4 bedroom instead of 3. And so on, and so on.

Simple question. Thank you to those who understood and answered.

As I mentioned above there are no norms here it depends upon who designs the houses appartments none of them have any normed size at least unless in a new block of appartments where the floor size is nearly all the same, other wise not.

Villas in compounds nearly all have the same sq. footage but stand alone villas are different he/she will have to measure when they find something when they arrive. lol

What she asked and meant are the same - just how big are houses in

sq. ft. she meant of course the floor size - he/she was probably thinking of furniture layout. If I would tell you 60 sq metre all three rooms together then you know what to expect.

By qatarisun• 10 Jan 2008 14:10
qatarisun

it starts from 2 sq.f. and goes up to 1 000 000 sq.f.

happysw, did i answer your question?

don't be so rude she/he was asking for a general overview.

happysw

It is not easy to answer because the villas btw. appartments all have different sizes there is no given norm here.
