B0003-nsga2-2-1437

NSGA-IID · 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 48 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 70 square metres. Dwelling U2 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 50 square metres. Dwelling U3 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 68 square metres. Building footprint 149 square metres; open space 210 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.69, daylight 0.56, privacy 0.81, circulation 0.51, carbon 0.79, cost 0.22.
