floor area

Room's total size

Floor area is the total surface space within a building or room, measured in square feet or meters.

It typically refers to usable interior space: The apartment has 800 square feet of floor area.

In real estate and construction, different calculations apply—gross floor area includes walls and common spaces, while net floor area counts only occupiable space.
