In this project, we are making an addition to Richard Meier's, Smith House. The addition has to be representative of the original design but at the same time, it should have its own presence. We are also asked to incorporate a meta/idea and narrative about the homeowner's needs for the addition.
Narrative
Mr. and Mrs. Smith have been thinking about adding an addition to their house. They love to ski but don't have the time that they used to have to do it anymore, so they wanted to incorporate that into the design so they could be reminded of it from their home. They also want a master bedroom with a master bath and an exercise room underneath it. The family room is what they want the main focus to be. They want the additions to be on the house's left side opposite the water.

I decided to go with design 1 because the circulation worked the best out of all of them. It also worked best for adding the meta idea.
