ᐅ Heated surfaces in rooms with significantly increased heating demand

LostWolfSince an extension is being built onto my existing property, there are unfortunately some issues with the heating load in this new area.
(Underfloor heating will be installed throughout the entire heated space.)
Because this room (living room) mainly consists of exterior walls, it has a heating load of 54.37 W/m² (1909 W).
In the rest of the ground floor, we have about 25 W/m².
Is there a way to heat this room in the extension (living room) without having to increase the heat pump’s supply temperature to nearly 40°C (104°F)?
Unfortunately, the heating surface is limited to the floor and cannot be increased.
Would using larger pipe diameters and increasing the flow rate help in this case (if that is even possible)?

Ceiling, walls, etc.?
Otherwise, it will be tight and there will be many circles.

My extension is smaller but has nearly the same heating load per square meter. I installed the underfloor heating with a 5cm (2 inches) spacing. Result: supply temperature around 30°C (86°F) for 21.5°C (71°F) indoor temperature this winter.
