B0026-sketch-1-956

Random sketch + repairF′ · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0026

Plan drawing of a duplex on a 13.6 by 18.3 metre lot, 2 storeys, 2 dwellings, 13 rooms. Dwelling U0 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 68 square metres. Dwelling U1 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 68 square metres. Building footprint 85 square metres; open space 160 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 1.00, daylight 0.61, privacy 0.89, circulation 0.50, carbon 0.74, cost 0.49.
