The Smith family are advocates for environmental activism and need more space in their weekend home because they want to transform it into their main home and be closer to nature. Their largest charity that they run is for sustainable clean water to third world countries, so the design of the addition was fashioned after ice cubes. They need an additional family room, exercise room, rooftop garden and deck, and a master suite. Their children are going to be home-schooled on the premises so additional habitable spaces are needed for their convenience and growing knowledge. The family room will be the most important since this is where the children will be occupying most of their time. Second, will be the new Master Suite since it is important for the parents to be able to rest well and completely to be able to watch over their children and assist them with their studies.
