Addition of an Existing Order
Overview and Assignment:
The Smith House designed by Richard Meier is an example of great
modern American architecture. Like many of Meier's works it consists of
many clean white walls and large windows to hide and display the
buildings characteristics.
Since 1965 when the building was first designed there have been many
changes in the everyday life, and so the spaces of the building must
adapt to the ever changing functions to still be relevant.
The current owners of the Smith House have a new need for the
following:
a Master Suite, an Exercise Room, a Family Room, and a Formal
Outdoor Area
As the designer I must integrate these new spaces in to the original
building creating a new, unique presence for them while still respecting
Meier's original design concepts.
