NARRATIVE

The Smith Family has recently asked for renovations to be done to the home without disturbing the original structure. With it current state, the house doesn’t have an adequate area in which a Family room cold be present. The family is looking to create memories together in the home so they have asked for a larger area for the family to congregate after an exhausting day. Both Mr. And Mrs. Smith have also asked to create a space for an outdoor space that allows for the family to live outside as well as inside. Although the Smiths are looking to create an escape for the family, they have also asked for an escape for themselves with a duplex master suite including a master bathroom. With these provisions set in place, the family is overall looking for spaces in which the family can gather as well as a personal escape for Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
