B0055-sketch-2-1150

Random sketch + repairF′ · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0055

Plan drawing of a courtyard on a 21.7 by 26.3 metre lot, 2 storeys, 4 dwellings, 25 rooms. Dwelling U0 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 67 square metres. Dwelling U1 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 99 square metres. Dwelling U2 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 99 square metres. Dwelling U3 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 67 square metres. Building footprint 239 square metres; open space 324 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.82, daylight 0.65, privacy 0.87, circulation 0.50, carbon 0.82, cost 0.59.
