Where is north? Unfortunately, I can't match all the dimension chains...
The living room seems too narrow and elongated for my taste.
I think the 45° corner adds little value.
The entire central lower hallway is as dark as a bear’s rear end.
I would question some corners... additional measurements on the upper floor would be necessary.

Is there an attachment????

Sorry, I’m having some trouble with the images. On my computer, they display correctly, but when I upload them here, they appear sideways. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to fix this.

Orientation: Terrace facing east, entrance facing west

339 for the living room would be too narrow for me!
And 35m² (375 sq ft) of hallway space is definitely too much.
