Project 2: Contectual Fit
Our task for this project was to take the historic "Smith House" designed by Richard Meier, and put an addition on the existing residence. The other challange was taking the existing structural elements and circulation of the house and having that influence the design process.


Narrative
The Smiths have commissioned me to put an addition on the well know “Smith house”. When I met with them on what exactly their needs are for this addition, they told me some interesting things. They are a family of 5 and have 3 young kids and their family is what they care about the most. They want the family room of the addition to be the most important room as they plan to be in that room the most, not only for just their day-to-day activities but for holidays and special occasions like birthdays. They plan on having a lot of memories in this room. Right next to the family room they want an outdoor seating/dining area facing the backyard so they can eat meals while looking at the incredible view they have. They also want a Master suite including a Master bedroom and Master Bath, additionally they also want to have an exercise room to make it easier to get into a workout routine.
