Composed of 居住(きょじゅう) (residence, dwelling) and 空間(くうかん) (space). A somewhat formal and technical term used in architecture, interior design, and real estate contexts. In everyday casual speech, people more often talk about the 部屋(へや) (rooms), 間取(まど)り (floor plan), or simply the house's 広(ひろ)さ (size). 居住空間(きょじゅうくうかん) emphasizes the livable, usable area rather than raw square footage.
