Existing building

Analysis and conceptual idea

The new residents liked many attributes about the design of the house. Yet their needs wouldn’t be possible without an addition. Their main priority was to have some privacy from the rest of the house for the master suite with also enjoying the view. They also needed and exercise room, family indoor area and family outdoor area. Being that the house was originally designed by Richard meier, the new family wanted the design concept to flow with the addition.

I decided to utilize meiers circulation path, along with the support system of poles that he used towards the back of the house. Also meiers concept was to keep the front private and the back public. I have done the same with the additions.
