Narrative

The Smith family enjoys spending quality time together while using their telescopes to view the stars at night. They have made the decision to expand their distinctive house in order to address this. They want to enlarge their family room so they can gaze up at the sky and see the stars, moon, and more. While Mrs. Smith wants to expand the family room and provide more outdoor space for her family to enjoy, Mr. Smith has been interested in having a fitness center without having to travel far.
