B0016-sketch-1-1186

Random sketch + repairF′ · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0016

Plan drawing of a rowhouse on a 22.6 by 27.6 metre lot, 2 storeys, 3 dwellings, 29 rooms. Dwelling U0 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 109 square metres. Dwelling U1 (3BR) has 11 rooms totalling 118 square metres. Dwelling U2 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 341 square metres. Building footprint 284 square metres; open space 343 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.93, daylight 0.63, privacy 0.93, circulation 0.57, carbon 0.89, cost 0.71.
