B0004-sketch-1-893

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 183 square metres. Dwelling U1 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 90 square metres. Dwelling U2 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 95 square metres. Building footprint 184 square metres; open space 278 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.96, daylight 0.79, privacy 0.93, circulation 0.46, carbon 0.82, cost 0.51.
