Plan drawing of a courtyard on a 19.7 by 27.7 metre lot, 2 storeys, 5 dwellings, 27 rooms. Dwelling U0 (studio) has 4 rooms totalling 38 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 56 square metres. Dwelling U2 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 101 square metres. Dwelling U3 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 101 square metres. Dwelling U4 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 95 square metres. Building footprint 219 square metres; open space 317 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.74, daylight 0.56, privacy 0.72, circulation 0.67, carbon 0.76, cost 0.51.
