Connection analogy-

The first connection method that was used was the extrusions of the original walls bursting through the new addition. Next there were giant blocks that went through both projects giving them a strong bond.

Narrative -

The Smith family is ready for a change. They feel as though the house is not big enough for entertainment. They hold large parties every week. They also want to be able to have a common room that they can spend time with the family. They don’t necessarily want the same design; they want to feel an actual difference and extension of the house while still feeling at home. They love the ocean so they want a focus on water and the views. The hierarchy of the house is going to be the living room. There will be a datum included separating public and private.

1. Living room.

2. Master bedroom.

3. Observation room.

4. Family room.

Meta Idea-

Due to the fact the house was so close to the water. The focus was mainly the ocean. The idea of a wave crashing to a center focal point really kept the project together. The massive part of this wave will be splitting public and private sections of the house.
