Purpose

The Smith Family has commissioned you to design an addition to their house on the shore of Long Island Sound. The original house, designed in 1965 by architect Richard Meier, has been widely published and is internationally known. Unfortunately, the Owners needs have change since the original design, thereby warranting this architectural intervention. The Owner specifically request that the integrity of the original design be respected, yet the new addition should have its own presence. 

Narrative 

Mr. and Mr.s Robertson recently moved into the Smith House, which was designed by Richard Meir in 1965, and they wanted to add some extensions and improvements to the house. Their main hobby is to play video games and to livestream their gameplays to their community on Twitch. They requested a larger office/game room and a nice open balcony where they could take a break looking at the nice view outside the house after hours of streaming.
