NARRATIVE
The couple that just purchased the house are very athletic; both enjoy playing volleyball. They value their workout time and area. As an athletic couple with kids, they need a place to just relax; it must be quiet. But overall their fitness is most vital. Volleyball is the biggest sport in the family since the whole family plays.
