Purpose:

The Smith Family has commissioned us to design an addition to their house on the shore of Long Island Sound. Although we are requested to respect the integrity of the original design by architect Richard Meier, our new addition will have its own presence. Our new addition must include a master suite, family room, and a formal outdoor area.

Narrative

A botanist, plant scientist, have recently retired and are looking for a house located at Long Island Sound. Although he is retired, his love for plants is still strong and wants to continue to cherish them. He will be living with his wife and wants the ability to teach botany to his kids. He wants a library in his house to hold the scientific books of plants and most importantly, a herbarium for his collection of dried plants. In addition to this, he would like a green roof to plant unique plants from pitcher plants to tiny high altitude plants that take 50 years to grow a centimeter or two. This botanist is fascinated by plants and wants a house that represents the golden ratio of nature.
