Narrative

The Xavier family has recently moved into the Smith house in order to have more space than their city apartment as their previous home didn’t allow them to have enough room for anything. They realized that the house needs some improvements so that it can have the space that their desire so they have asked for an addition to the house that includes a family room, master bedroom, a deck, and a gym. The family room is the most important as they want it to be a place where the entire family can relax, to host events, and have space for plants. The family room should also have access to a deck so that they can have a great view of the coast.
