Narrative

The main focus of this project is to design and construct an addition to the Smith's House. The Smiths enjoy being together as a family and love being on the water. Their favorite thing to do as a family is watch the sunrise and sunset over the Long Island Sound. The new design to the house takes their priorities into account and will be incorporated into the new addition.
