The brief asks for 59 m² of rooms inside a 91 m² footprint. In the first generated option the rooms take 75.4 m², leaving about 15.6 m² (17%) for halls, corridors and walls. Spare area is shared out, so most rooms end up larger than their minimum. Areas are measured on the plan outline, not as usable floor after wall finishes.
