Plan drawing of a adu pair on a 11.7 by 21.2 metre lot, 2 storeys, 2 dwellings, 14 rooms. Dwelling U0 (3BR) has 8 rooms totalling 75 square metres. Dwelling U1 (studio) has 4 rooms totalling 75 square metres. Building footprint 88 square metres; open space 152 square metres. This design is infeasible; failing categories: insufficient area. Objective scores, higher is better: density 1.00, daylight 0.55, privacy 0.86, circulation 0.56, carbon 0.73, cost 0.30.
