B0022-sketch-1-1152

Random sketch + repairF′ · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0022

Plan drawing of a rowhouse on a 18.3 by 25.5 metre lot, 2 storeys, 3 dwellings, 29 rooms. Dwelling U0 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 83 square metres. Dwelling U1 (3BR) has 11 rooms totalling 134 square metres. Dwelling U2 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 194 square metres. Building footprint 205 square metres; open space 262 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.85, daylight 0.51, privacy 0.94, circulation 0.46, carbon 0.84, cost 0.49.
