Construction Gross Area Clarification

Hello,

I need to get the CGA of a building that has a colonnade area on the ground floor. The special case for this building is that half of the colonnades suspending the building is located in habour water and the other half on solid ground. Should the CGA include the full colonnade area or only the section above solid ground?

Thank you!

The CGA should include the full colonnade in this case.
