Contextual Fit

The purpose of this project was to design additions to the existing structure while respecting the surroundings. The design was extruded by analyzing the various systems of the original structure and the places, landscapes, and cultures surrounding the structure. The model for this project was the Long Island Sound "Smith House," designed by Richard Meier in 1963.
