A room is a distinguishable space within a structure that is usually separated from other areas by interior walls and from the outdoors by an exterior wall with a door. Historically, rooms have been used since at least early Minoan cultures around 2200 BC, as excavations on Santorini, Greece at Akrotiri reveal structures with clearly defined rooms.
