B0007-anneal-2-741

Simulated annealingC · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0007

Plan drawing of a courtyard on a 21.7 by 21.6 metre lot, 2 storeys, 4 dwellings, 25 rooms. Dwelling U0 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 81 square metres. Dwelling U1 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 84 square metres. Dwelling U2 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 84 square metres. Dwelling U3 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 81 square metres. Building footprint 193 square metres; open space 268 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.61, daylight 0.41, privacy 0.88, circulation 0.56, carbon 0.75, cost 0.44.
