looking at floor plate efficiencies of 3 different vertical egress typologies...
left: 6-unit single loaded corridor. 83,5% floor plate efficiency
middle: 12-unit double loaded corridor. 87% floor plate efficiency
right: 6-unit point access block. 93,5% floor plate efficiency

in germany, we did number of proposals and was a bit of time spent optimizing floor plate efficiencies...
basically breaking out verkehrsflaeche (circulation) from the bruttogrundflaeche (BGF - gross floor area) and the technikflaeche (technical area) to get net usable

i'm really interested in the qualitative aspects of these three types.
single and double loaded corridors - massive circulation space. lots of people passing window, using same elevator.
double loaded: no cross vent. no light on multiple sides. hard to get 3 BRs

point access block are kind of the perfect synthesis of all three...
most (or all) units get cross vent. light on multiple sides. if on an arterial, bedrooms can go on quiet half of building. pairs well w/ massive courtyards...
unsure why we don't have these everywhere.

easier to get a wide variety in units (1-3 BR in this example). works for low and mid rise.
hits that sweet spot on missing middle.
allows more area for amenities or larger units...
we should be building these on every single family lot in seattle: archdaily.com/870720/bremer-…

and the compactness is *perfect* for hitting passivhaus.
it's such a no-brainer. there's a reason this is the basic building block of most urban cores outside of north america.
