B0038-cpsat-1-41

CP-SATE · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0038

Plan drawing of a duplex on a 14.4 by 20.5 metre lot, 2 storeys, 2 dwellings, 12 rooms. Dwelling U0 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 101 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 100 square metres. Building footprint 105 square metres; open space 192 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.89, daylight 0.57, privacy 0.75, circulation 0.82, carbon 0.80, cost 0.55.
