Calculating the relevant area, known as the 'surface hors d'oeuvre nette' (SHON), is more complicated than it might seem. All habitable areas must be included (eg: the first floor or roof if you're planning to turn this into bedrooms, as well as the ground floor) and measurements must include the thickness of the walls, which must therefore be measured to the outside face. However, the calculation normally excludes garages, basements, open areas at ground level (eg: a porch or terrace), balconies and any habitable area where the headroom is less than 1.8m, eg: in rooms under the eaves.
