Conceptual Ideas and Diagrams

 

Idea

 

Narrative:

            Mr. and Mrs. Smith moving into Richard Meier’s smith house.  They would like to have a space to entertain friends and family as well as separate space to get away from friends and family.  For these needs the Smiths are looking to have an addition with a master suite, family room and exercise room added to Richard Meier’s house.  The master suite should be a large open two-story space with a good view of the Long Island Sound as well as a spacious master bath and walk-in closets.  For the family room, the Smiths want a nice sized room with space to relax and entertain.  The Smiths also like the idea of an attached privet deck or roof top terrace. 

 

Hierarchy:

            Master suite

Family room

            Deck/Roof terrace

Gym

 

Meta Idea:

Since I've been commissioned to do the addition for the Smith family, I wanted it to look just like that.  I want the addition be visible so you could see the how it actually connects to the existing structure, showing the nuts, bolts and pins of the connection.  Make a permanent scaffold structure to support connecting walkways between the buildings.  Also included would be a privacy screen similar to safety and dust screens on construction sites.
