Conceptual Ideas

Hierarchy

In my version of the Smith house with its new addition; since the entire new addition will be private space for the family to use, the following hierarchy exists.

For the entire new house

1.  Existing Living Room- because the family enjoys entertaining

2.  New Master Suite- because the couple enjoys their private time

For the new addition

1.  Master Suite

2.  Outdoor Area

3.  Family Room
