What is a Square Foot?
The square foot is the area of a square one foot on a side, and it is the unit American and Indian real estate runs on — apartments, offices and warehouses are advertised, valued and rented by it, while most of Europe quotes the identical thing in square meters. It is also where the commonest conceptual mistake about area surfaces. Area scales with the square of length, so converting a room’s dimensions and converting its floor area are not the same operation: double a room’s length and width and you have not doubled the floor, you have quadrupled it.
What is a Square Meter?
The square meter is the SI unit of area — the area of a square one meter on a side — and it is the reference every other unit here is defined against. It is the standard for property across most of Europe and much of Asia, where flats and houses are advertised, taxed and registered by their floor area rather than by room count alone, and it is the unit building regulations and floor coverings are written in. The thing worth holding onto is that area is a squared quantity: a room made half again as long in each direction gains more than half again as much floor.
To put both in perspective: a typical US one-bedroom apartment is around 700 square feet, while a standard parking space is about 12 square meters.
