Project 2: Contextual Fit
In this project we were given the objective to design an addition to the smith house designed by Richard Meier in 1965

Narrative

The smith family have requested an exercise room and a family room, on the other hand they also want to add private spaces such as a master suite which includes a master bed and a master bath. The smith family are also very obsessed with the champions league on top of all their request they would like a awing over the circular space on the roof top patio
