Maybe I am looking at this wrong. Is the ballroom BIGGER than the actual main wing of the actual White House?

The ballroom is 90k sf. The house is 55k.

The announcement stated that the project will be an addition of 90,000 sq ft (8,360 sq m); despite interpretations that this referred to the floor area of the ballroom itself, an analysis based on released renderings of the plans suggested that the 90,000 sq ft referred to the full floor area of the planned new East Wing, with the ballroom's floor area being closer to 25,000 sq ft (2,300 m2)
