Project 2- Contextual Fit
Narrative
The Smith family enjoys having card nights, but right now, Mrs. Smith and Mr. Smith think the family room gets cramped at times playing their games To fix this, they've decided to add onto their home. They want a larger family room where they can play cards without being uncomfortable and cramped. Mrs. Smith has also asked for a master bed and more outdoor space for family activities, while Mr. Smith would like an exercise room.
