Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Lease/tenancy agreement
Swedish term or phrase: Du-rum
From a Hyreskontrakt for an office.
The contract form has been filled in as follows:
"Kontorsarea i plan 4A, 1 Du-rum"

Is this an abbreviation of dubbelrum? I'm just wondering because it's about an office, not a hotel or flat.

Explanation:
At a guess they mean an office that's large enough for two people... Many office buildings in Sweden are organised so that people have private offices rather than sharing.
