ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
Addition To An Existing Order:
The objective of this project is to create an addition to the pre-existing Smith House designed by architect Richard Meier, in 1965. This addition must be created using the existing systems and patterns with respect to the architectural integrity of the original house design.
​
Narrative:
The Smith Family has requested for an addition to their well-known house, with respect to the original design. They would like a slight change to their environment, but they understand the value in the work of architect Richard Meier. This household has many family oriented values and the Smith’s like to use their space to host large gatherings. They typically spend their free time in their formal outdoor area as they find interest in outdoor activities and enjoy their views of the Long Island Sound. When the weather is nice, the Smith’s like to play tennis, so this gave me the idea to propose a skylight deck design for their formal outdoor space using the interpretive design of a tennis racket.
