Project 2:
Contextual Fit
This project focuses on adding an extension on an existing house, specifically the Smith House, and incorporating a meta idea within.
Narrative
The Smith family enjoys doing family activities such as playing games such as cards and spending quality time together, therefore they’ve decided to expand on their current house. They would currently like to add a living room to partake in these activities. A master bedroom and exercise room were requested as well by Mr. Smith.
