Russian term

Квартирография

Russian to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
I have put this under "Construction", but I suppose it could likewise fall under "Real Estate". A made-up word, yes, but can anyone give me an English equivalent that doesn't sound as cheesy as "Apartmentography"?
Thanks!

Kurt Porter Aug 23, 2006:
Actually, Denis' sounds the same as mine. :) :) If possible (depending if the words is also used in a vein similar to the Russian sites on google), I would drop it all and just say "Apartments." Then what type of apartments is listed below (2-BR, 3-BR)
Vladimir Lioukaikine (X) Aug 23, 2006:
Simon, don't get me wrong, I was not saying that you were "a sleepy брит" ;--) Actually, I was alluding to Shakespear's "To sleep? Perchance to dream?" - which in Russian translation of Lozinsky sounds like "Уснуть. И видеть сны"... and so forth...
Simon Hollingsworth (asker) Aug 23, 2006:
I would use "apartment block", but then I am a sleepy брит. As such, a version such as Kurt's says the same as Denis's, for example. Different types of apartment indicate that there are different parameters, dimensions, numbers of rooms etc.
Vladimir Lioukaikine (X) Aug 23, 2006:
А чего нам на бритов смотреть? Вон и Саймон исчез куда-то, не подскажет ничего даже... Уснул, и видит сны :-) Будем ориентироваться на америкосов, раз уж их "билдинги" преобладают над нашими "блоками"...
Zamira B. Aug 23, 2006:
Владимир, думаю, вполне возможно. Вот только слышала, как бриты в Ташкенте говорили "apartment block", хотя по статистике гугла "apt building" раз в 10 чаще встречается.
Vladimir Lioukaikine (X) Aug 23, 2006:
Да, Замира, согласен. Даже не "apartment", а всего дома. Может Apartment building layout?
Zamira B. Aug 23, 2006:
Думаю, "layout scheme" подходит лучше всего, поскольку "квартирография", во всей видимости, означает расположение квартир с указанием их площади и количества комнат по этажам и подъездам.
Vladimir Lioukaikine (X) Aug 23, 2006:
Try "Flatography" :-) Apartment layout scheme?

agree Sophia Hundt (X) : 'floor plans' sounds most professional, but of course I don't have the context to know for sure.

Apartment Types

Looking at the Russian sites that use the word and how they use it, I think I'd go with "Apartment Types." The below sites seem to match up with the same type of information that's located on the Russian sites.

apartment description

I think that, aside from layout, it can include other things, such as lack or presence of various improvements.

Choise between Kurt's version and mine may depend on context. It seems to me that mine implies greater detail. In some contexts, it can be just Appartments (or Flats), as Kurt have said.
