Project 2: contextual fit

Architectural Design II- ARC 257
smith house 2.jpg

            This project focuses on designing an addition to Richard Meier’s Smith House, designed between 1965 and 1967. The design process will begin with a study of the home’s spatial organization, structural systems, and recurring architectural patterns. Understanding these elements will help establish a connection between the existing house and the proposed addition while preserving the qualities that define its architectural identity.

​

              The proposal will also develop a concept that responds to the homeowners’ current needs and supports their daily activities. New spaces, features, and systems will expand the home’s functionality while introducing opportunities beyond its original design. The goal is to create an addition with its own purpose and character that remains thoughtfully connected to Meier’s work..
