How it's used
Focuses specifically on the spatial arrangement of rooms and walls within a property. It is the standard term used by real estate agents and interior designers when discussing whether a floor plan is efficient or awkward. When describing a layout that makes good use of space, speakers often pair it with the adjective 實用.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the verb 間隔, which means to separate or space out items. In the context of property, it is strictly a noun referring to the architectural floor plan.
