CONTEXTUAL FIT
The Smith Family, consisting of Bob and his wife Nicole, have commissioned me 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 changed since the original design.
