Do you want your desk in the corner of the living room, or behind its own door? That one choice can point you toward a completely different floor plan. This guide shows how to match a layout to your needs, instead of just having a square foot target in mind. We’ll use the studio through three-bedroom homes at Rivette Tower as the example.
How to Choose a Layout in East Austin
Start with your weekday routine
Think about an ordinary day. Where do you eat breakfast? Take calls? Set down your keys when you get home? Open-concept layouts keep the living, dining, and kitchen areas in the same space. So, the real question is, “What needs its own room?” If a desk isn’t part of most days, a separate room for it may not matter more than extra square footage somewhere else does. Rivette Tower's floor plans put every layout side by side to help make comparisons easier.
Storage, closets and entry space
Storage often decides whether a layout is convenient in your day-to-day routine. Spacious closets with shoe shelves come standard. Select homes add an urban mud entry with built-in storage near the front door. Austin routines can vary a lot by season. So keep in mind where things like market totes, bikes, and shoes will live in your home. The gallery shows how the storage looks in real interiors.
Studio and One-Bedroom Layouts
What a studio layout gives you
Studio layouts O2 through O5 are roughly 620 to 735 square feet. Because the plans are open-concept, you decide how your sleeping, dining, and lounging areas will fit together without walls separating them. That flexibility is the main thing a studio gives you.
One-bedroom layouts that include a separate den
Our A series of one-bedroom layouts are roughly 541 to 1,001 square feet. This range gives you a lot of room to explore. Among the 1-bedroom apartments in East Austin at Rivette Tower, the A4D (about 848 to 940 square feet) and A11D (about 997 to 1,001 square feet) include a separate den. This is uncommon in one-bedroom layouts of this size. Both keep the primary bedroom and the den in separate rooms. You can explore a virtual tour of a layout before you visit.
Two- and Three-Bedroom Layouts
Two-bedroom options and square footage
Our two-bedroom layouts (B2, B3, B4, B5 and B7) are roughly 1,028 to 1,270 square feet. Each has two bathrooms. Among the two-bedroom apartments, the B7 is the one that includes a separate den. Select homes also have soaking tubs and standalone showers. Be sure to compare features plan by plan.
The three-bedroom layout
The three-bedroom apartments (C1 and C1L) at Rivette Tower in East Austin are roughly 1,463 to 1,474 square feet. C1 has two bathrooms and C1L has 1.5. Both are open-concept floorplans, but the bedrooms give you plenty of options for how to arrange your space.
