B0018-cpsat-1-28

CP-SATE · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0018

Plan drawing of a adu pair on a 17.5 by 21.8 metre lot, 2 storeys, 2 dwellings, 15 rooms. Dwelling U0 (3BR) has 8 rooms totalling 139 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 127 square metres. Building footprint 143 square metres; open space 242 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.89, daylight 0.64, privacy 0.84, circulation 0.82, carbon 0.82, cost 0.67.
