B0029-cpsat-0-0

CP-SATE · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0029

Plan drawing of a triplex on a 14.1 by 21.5 metre lot, 2 storeys, 3 dwellings, 17 rooms. Dwelling U0 (studio) has 4 rooms totalling 37 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 74 square metres. Dwelling U2 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 63 square metres. Building footprint 119 square metres; open space 182 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.60, daylight 0.61, privacy 0.76, circulation 0.70, carbon 0.67, cost 0.08.
