Portuguese term or phrase: área
Seems like "área" is short for some term referring to space in a building / home, which I can't figure out. Perhaps laundry room (área de servicos), or even something like "open surface area"? Here goes the text:

"Janelas de alumínio na sala e quartos, e alumínio anodizado branco no lavabo, cozinha e área."
