"By area" compares total area. How many actually fit depends on shape, which the drawing above shows.
300 square feet is enough for a compact studio: a bed, a small sofa, a kitchenette along one wall and a bathroom. As a square it is about 17.3 feet per side.
That is close to two parking spaces by area, or about seven king beds. It is also a common size for an oversized one-car garage or a large backyard workshop.
Where you see it: micro and studio apartments, large shed-style workshops, small offices for two or three people.
