Narrative:
Smith House, originally
designed by Richard Meier in 1965, fails to accommodate for the growing needs
of the Johnson family. The family of five has decided they need a family room
as a more private setting to relax, an exercise room to encourage fitness, and
an outdoor space for entertaining. The parents feel that they deserve a
more luxurious retreat for alone time. They wish to build a master suite, with
its own private bath and walk-in-closet. The couple requests the design of
their home to revolve around their family, as they are
often like to spent some family time with their 2 children. The family loves
spending time watching movies, playing board games, and being active together.
That is why a family room with an outdoor area next to it would be the best for
them. The Smith family includes two children, a boy age 14, and a girl age 11.
When they arrive from school, they could enjoy playing outside with the company
of their invited friends. The parents have agreed to include a formal outdoor
space for their children and are excited to have an area for their own
entertaining, showing off their beautiful view of the Long Island Sound.
Hierarchy: Family

As mentioned before, the couple
would like the addition to revolve around the family room as it brings them
together.
