B0042-heuristic-0~r1

Heuristic-seeded NSGA-IIA+D · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0042

Plan drawing of a adu pair on a 14.8 by 21.3 metre lot, 2 storeys, 2 dwellings, 14 rooms. Dwelling U0 (3BR) has 8 rooms totalling 88 square metres. Dwelling U1 (studio) has 4 rooms totalling 88 square metres. Building footprint 104 square metres; open space 223 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 1.00, daylight 0.58, privacy 0.83, circulation 0.63, carbon 0.77, cost 0.60.
