Project 2-Contextual Fit
Addition To An Existing Order
By Sebastian Alvarez (Arc 257)
The goal of this project was to think and design an addition to the Smith House, designed by Richard Meier in 1865. Taking into account the original design along with the systems and location we can come up with a design that incorporates a main focal point without clashing with the integrity of the original design.
