Room schedule

The brief asks for 78 m² of rooms inside a 162 m² footprint. In the first generated option the rooms take 135.4 m², leaving about 26.6 m² (16%) 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 42 m² more floor area (162 m² against 120 m²) and has no bedroom 3.
