B0054-cpsat-0-3

CP-SATE · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0054

Plan drawing of a adu pair on a 12.8 by 23.5 metre lot, 2 storeys, 2 dwellings, 13 rooms. Dwelling U0 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 121 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 121 square metres. Building footprint 126 square metres; open space 180 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.95, daylight 0.51, privacy 0.83, circulation 0.75, carbon 0.83, cost 0.67.
