Hi, thanks for the reply, I just got confused reading the document which mentions room size like min 9 sqm for a child, I thought if I take a 90sqm house/ apartment even with single bedroom it is enough

Now I'm clear thanks to your clarification, I will look for two bedroom only

The thing is that your child is more than 1 year old, so he must have its own room.
If you have another child, they can sleep together in the same room if the area is more than 6m虏.
If you have a boy and a girl, they must be separate at 10 years old, if same sex, they can sleep in the same room.
