Richard-Meier-Smith-House-Real life.jpg

Purpose:

     We have been commissioned the Smith Family house to design an addition to their house originally designed by architect Richard Meier. We were specifically requested to respect the integrity of the original design but to design an addition that has its own presence. We are required to add a new master suite, family room and formal outdoor area.  

Narrative:

Mr. and Mrs. Smith are also interested a new master suit with views of the ocean and separate from their kids room. Mr. Smith is also interested in a small writing room view access to views of the ocean but more importantly with a view of the family room.
