Contextual Fit
Analysis & Design of Adding on
Narrative
Mr. Smith has reached out to me wanting to add a new addition to his house. Mr. Smith and his family are a very large family. Also the family is very family oriented and the family loves to spend time with each other. Mr. Smith wants a addition to his house with a rather large family room to accommodate his blossoming family. He wants the family room to stick out from the rest with its size and with large windows. Also wants a rather large outdoor area for when his family comes over so there is enough space to move around.
