CONTEXTUAL FIT
The Smith Family has commissioned us to design an addition to their house on the shore of Long Island Sound. The original house, designed in 1965 by architect Richard Meier, has been widely published and is internationally known. Unfortunately, the Owners needs have changed since the original design, thereby warranting this architectural intervention. The Owner specifically request that the integrity of the original design be respected, yet the new addition should have its own presence.
NARRATIVE
The Smith family are a big family who love spending time with each other as well as friends. They usually invite everyone over for a game night/party and are interested in having a large family room where they can come together to enjoy family time. The family is also into sports and exercise. They value their workout time and would like an area that would allow them to do so. They also need a place to relax and enjoy the great view.
