Room schedule

The brief asks for 86 m² of rooms inside a 176 m² footprint. In the first generated option the rooms take 125.4 m², leaving about 50.6 m² (29%) for halls, corridors and walls. Spare area is shared out, so most rooms end up larger than their minimum. Areas are measured on the plan outline, not as usable floor after wall finishes.

Compared with the standard 15 × 30 m plot

Against the standard 15 × 30 m plot site plan, this template has 56 m² more floor area (176 m² against 120 m²).
