I'd think unless they altered the pitch of the glass roof - it looks to be in keeping with the original above it - or changed the width of the corridor there's not a lot they could do about that. I'd also think the wall thickness prevents the archway being further to the left.
Sorry but I hadn't noticed the roof, I was posting about the rug not lining up with the archway jester

i am assuming there are regs or design constraints reasons for that.

If they raised the height of the right hand wall it would centralise the peak of the roof over the centre of the door arch
Good point. Looks like it's that height to try and match the top of the balcony on the left hand side.

A height restriction due to planning I’d guess. Maybe even 2.5m to ridge given the reduced height of the glazed wall section on the RHS (well below door height of 2m). To centralise the ridge on the doorway would have raised the roof height. The extension (?) to the LHS being set lower again would tend to support there being height restrictions (or a very ‘slope-y’ site).

I agree.
And if there is a height restriction they could have put a centralized small flat section.

The cheapest way though, which I would do, is plaster the wall then paint (and centralize the rug!)

Lots of wrong but chimneys draw better with a kink in them so I am told.

I've never seen monoblock flooring like that before. Works on a driveway, but in a living room?

looks like they've done a refit and moved a counter. ...Then couldn't get an exact match for the tiles. They're a different shade and shorter. The line up on the right then each gets further away from alignment.
