B0003-cpsat-2-6

CP-SATE · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0003

Plan drawing of a fourplex on a 15.0 by 24.2 metre lot, 2 storeys, 4 dwellings, 22 rooms. Dwelling U0 (studio) has 4 rooms totalling 44 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 122 square metres. Dwelling U2 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 64 square metres. Dwelling U3 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 89 square metres. Building footprint 174 square metres; open space 186 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.84, daylight 0.54, privacy 0.74, circulation 0.71, carbon 0.76, cost 0.35.
