The Smith family, long-time enthusiasts of classical music, has submitted a commission to design an addition to their house. The original house, designed in 1965 by renowned architect Richard Meier, is a masterpiece of modern architecture and has garnered international acclaim.
At the heart of the Smith family’s story is a strong emphasis on togetherness, education, and culture. Music, particularly classical music, is a defining aspect of their family life, with the violin holding a special place as both a symbol of their shared passions and a tangible representation of their collective identity. The family has made it clear that the new addition should not only respect the original design’s integrity but also express their unique familial bond and cultural interests.

 The most crucial function to be expressed is the living room—a room where the family can come together for musical performances, discussions, and celebrations of their shared passions.
