B0004-sketch-1-1159

Random sketch + repairF′ · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0004

Plan drawing of a rowhouse on a 18.5 by 25.0 metre lot, 2 storeys, 3 dwellings, 27 rooms. Dwelling U0 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 205 square metres. Dwelling U1 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 85 square metres. Dwelling U2 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 89 square metres. Building footprint 189 square metres; open space 270 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 1.00, daylight 0.77, privacy 0.87, circulation 0.49, carbon 0.83, cost 0.63.
