Contextual Fit

In this project, we are tasked with designing an addition to the Smith House, built in 1965 by architect Richard Meier. The new design must respect the original architecture by analyzing and incorporating its existing systems and patterns.

We are also asked to develop a concept that responds to the homeowners' current needs, while introducing new elements or systems not found in the original house.

Narrative

A client envisions a unique addition to their home: a golf simulation room in the gym because the family enjoys golf and they want a room that offers both an immersive golfing experience and a serene space that will serve as a retreat, allowing them to swing their club with full force while gazing into an endless expanse, detaching from reality together as a family.
