Narrative:
The Smith Family was aiming for an extension to their existing home that included specific rooms they required. The main focus of the extension was to be an enlarged family room. The family did not currently have a room where they could spend time together and perform daily family activities. They wanted a lounging room, where anything could be completed. The secondary focus was an official Master Suite. The existing house did have a defined master bedroom, but it wasn’t adhering to the couple’s needs, so they wanted a larger, more modernized master suite, along with a decent sized exercise room attached to it in some way where they could do their extensive fitness routines.
