Plan drawing of a courtyard on a 19.9 by 25.6 metre lot, 2 storeys, 4 dwellings, 25 rooms. Dwelling U0 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 93 square metres. Dwelling U1 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 85 square metres. Dwelling U2 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 93 square metres. Dwelling U3 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 85 square metres. Building footprint 198 square metres; open space 318 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.76, daylight 0.61, privacy 0.77, circulation 0.68, carbon 0.76, cost 0.55.
