B0056-sketch-0-1188

Random sketch + repairF′ · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0056

Plan drawing of a duplex on a 13.5 by 23.4 metre lot, 2 storeys, 2 dwellings, 13 rooms. Dwelling U0 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 90 square metres. Dwelling U1 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 90 square metres. Building footprint 102 square metres; open space 217 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.88, daylight 0.75, privacy 0.80, circulation 0.63, carbon 0.77, cost 0.60.
