 ADDITION TO AN EXISTING ORDER

This project's objective was to find a design and create an addition to the "Smith house" designed by architect Richard Meier in 1965. Our addition is to find the needs for the owner without affecting the original design of the house. 

Narrative 

smiths house.webp
The Colletti family is a new client. They are big hockey fans with one of them as a professional hockey player. They want something involved with hockey in the exercise room. They want more room to be able to train and get his sons involved in hockey like he is. He also wants a spot for people to be able to sit around the area and watch. They have 2 boys and his wife to think about. This client wants more space in the house expanding out into the lower deck making an area for a little area for practice for him and his sons to play.
