| July 15, 1994 lobby floor plan, teller counter elevations, ATM entry elevation, sketches Roc's comment: Another well intentioned effort gone awry. Did some major redesign work for the Bar Harbor Bank in Bar Harbor with John Gordon as project manager. Sheldon Goldthwait was the president at the time who asked for our help. The bank board decided to go with the designer from their supply company and our plans were used but modified beyond recognition. |

| 1212 | Blair/Tyson Dorms at College of the Atlantic |
|
| Elevations, floor plans, site plans, sketches, full construction set Roc Caivano, architect; Wells Bacon, student assistant; Lanpher Associates, engineers Roc's comments: Lou Rabineau, COA President asked us to design new dorms for COA. We did some research and learned that groups of 8 or less will take responsibility for their living environment but more than that number ignore their responsibilities to others. So we designed seven separate 8 bed apartments interconnected. The building form followed the real estate divisions of the of the old property lines, the geological shape of the land at the entrance to the Turrets and was meant to evoke images of older 19th century barns and stables and work buildings. The courtyard faced true south and brought fresh air and sun into every room. We came to MDI to work at the newly founded College of the Atlantic in 1974. I did any number of small projects and helped renovate the Turrets during those years but always wanted to do something of substance for them. When we returned from an extended "residency" working as an associate in the Venturi, Rauch and Scott Brown firm in Philadelphia, Lou Rabineau, the then president of the college, asked me to design a new dormitory for them. They had come a long way since our earlier struggling days and, I think Lou had a great deal to do with putting them on the right track. Todd Stanley, John Gordon, Wells Bacon and John De Fazio ( a Venturi colleague) all helped with this first large project. I did some research and found that groups of people in units of 8 or less were aware and cared for their common environment so we divided the dormitory into 7, 8 bed living units- each with kitchens common rooms and separated bathrooms on each floor. We oriented the clusters at the entrance to the Turrets where the old carriage house and servant facilities were once placed and treated the building form in the same detail and scale. We prepared the rooms so each got direct sunlight and fresh air and all opened onto a common courtyard. The single rooms were designed to code minimum doubles and the double rooms to code minimum triples which allowed the college to expand from the 56 beds used on a regular basis to a 74 bed capability in an emergency. All of this worked! The building has been the home for close to 2000 young students and survived in excellent form with very little maintenance. One of my proudest accomplishments ever. |

| 1218 | Danielson/Angelides Residence Renovations |
|
| Floor plans, lighting plans, elevations, sketches, bed and cabinet details Includes copies of the original drawings by Robert W Patterson in 1966 for Mrs. Philip Wallis. Roc's comments: Jim Wallace asked me to draw the existing plans of his mother's house so that he might sell it. When he offered to pay I said no but when pressed I said my fee would be a box of cigars. Jim called me from the humidor at Dunhills in NYC. When I told him the brand I preferred he said "Holy Shit, I should have paid your fee!" Barbara Danielson bought the house and hired Barb Sassaman and me to renovate it. We enjoyed working for this very creative woman and she became a friend of Sass and mine from then on. |

| Foundation plan, floor plans, loft and roof framing plan, sections, elevations Roc's comments: Former founding president of College of the Atlantic. Nicest man I have ever known. Was an honor to be asked to design this very reasonably priced retirement home for Ed and his wife Anne Sewell. Did these drawings myself. Eric Henry built the building and rotated the building 90 from the site plan we had drawn. We had wonderful dinners together in that house. |

| 1225 | Fox Family Residence |
|
| basement/foundation plan, details and specifications, floor plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules Roc's Comments: Sam and Mary Alice Fox were two retired doctors. They had quite an amazing history and decided to retire to his family's vacation site on the Southern end of Long Pond. Wonderful site and truly inspiring people. We went thru an orderly and thorough design and construction process and I enjoyed every moment of it and was honored to be their friend here on MDI after that. We always had some little project to solve together, but I think it was just an excuse to hang out. Their family were all very tall, thus the lofty feeling inside. Mary Alice had severe arthritis and we installed a good sized hot tub off of their master bathroom. No moisture problems due to serious research on our part. If this house pleases the viewer, they are getting just a small sense of how wonderful these two were. |

| 1235 | Heyward/Crothers House and Guest House |
|
| Plot plan, elevations, floor plans, sketches, foundation plan, roof framing plan, sections, electrical and lighting plan, plumbing fixtures Roc's Comments: Probably one of the best projects. Done for Lisa Heyward and Jock Crothers. Lisa's father was an architect and she knew exactly what she wanted and where. our job was to make it attractive and buildable. I think it worked. this house was built about 4 feet in front of a deteriorated home they first lived in. Once completed they tore the home down and built a small guest house in its place. The contractor foreman on this project was very divisive and made the construction phase difficult but we persevered and it came out well and very close to the budget. I think Lisa was disappointed in the debates we had with the contractors on the job trying to get them to keep to their original commitments. I wish I knew how to make the process less difficult for the client when this happens. Todd Stanley was an excellent help on this project and the guest house is really mostly his doing. He was a great member of our team. |

| 1238 | Hopkins Residence |
|
| Site map, floor plans, elevations, sections, details, plumbing, electrical, mechanical Roc's Comments: David and Bunky Hopkins shared the old family house "Little Orchard " with David's brother Porter. Behind the charming old cape of many additions was a small barn. The original barn facade facing the street was simple and beautiful. David wanted us to tear it down and build a guest house with three bedrooms and baths and a full kitchen/dining living room. We did this and reproduced the lines of the original street facade. This is a very clever little house and it folds up and tucks away in the winter. Todd Stanley and Roland Sosa helped with this project. |

| 1241 | House at Irish Point for Steven Rockefeller |
|
| Bridge sketch, sketches, plot plan, floor plans, elevations, mechanical Roc's Comments: Steven Rockefeller and his wife, Dorie, asked me to design the Gilley Museum (see 118). We had a great time working together on that building and in 1990 (when we were contemplating moving back to MDI from Philadelphia) I received a letter asking if I would design him a new home on Swans Island. Steven had remarried Barbara Bellows and they wanted a summer home built on the land that Steven had simply camped on and cleared the lower branches of the spruce trees to maintain the meadow, encourage the breezes and discourage the mosquitoes. When I asked Steven and Barbara what they were looking for in a summer house Barbara said in her charming southern accent " Roc, we like a summer house with dogs and kids and screen doors that slam." I knew exactly what she meant and prepared a series of pencil sketches that zeroed in on a really nice white clapboard farmhouse indicative of the Greek and Gothic revival structures found all over Swans and the western side of Mt Desert Island. We went thru very few iterations before arriving at the final design. The house purposely has 4 different exterior elevations. The entry or East elevation is the regional revival style facade, the South elevation has a more "craftsman/sea captains" appearance. The West elevation is meant to be the " summer house cottage" side when viewed from the water. And the North side is our current, funky Downeast side. There is a wonderful big bathtub that aligns with a big southern window looking out over the pink sand beach. This place and the clients are all a very happy memory. |

|
| Site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections, details, mechanical Roc's Comments: This project was an addition on a garage! The Ingles found that they had zoning permission to add a substantial addition to their garage. They wanted a sturdy home that would house their grown children and guests. We worked hard to create an attractive structure that looked like it had always been there. I think we succeeded. The living room in this house is really pleasant. John Gordon was the excellent project manager on this one and the building looks it. |

Very nice people and it was an honor to work with them. |

| 1278 | McAlpine Greenhouse |
|
| site plan, elevations, foundation plans, engineering plans, sketches Roc's Comments: Peggy Rockefeller asked me to come up and look at the greenhouse that supported the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Gardens at that time. the plants were growing too tall and "leggy" I suggested this was because she had been sold a system that was Kalwall plastic that became more opaque with age. She asked me to prove it and I hired Peter Knuppel a good local lighting designer to test the light. the data was dramatic and Peggy and David Rockefeller asked me to design a replacement greenhouse not only for the AARG but also to add wings for Thuja and the Asticou gardens which they seemed to think would require support in the future. We chose the Rough Brothers, a Cincinnati company that supplied excellent greenhouses for college and public gardens around the country. The project went off without a hitch and the greenhouses have been in constant use ever since. The seedlings are no longer leggy. The McAlpine Farm complex is now the center for the Land And Garden Preserve a non-profit organization responsible for the AARG, Asticou, and Thuja Gardens and 1,000 acres of parkland and trails including Little Long Pond. |

| 1280 | Russell Residence |
|
| Site plan, demolition plan, foundation plans and details, floor plans, roofing plans and details, elevations, sections and details, plumbing, heating, lighting, sketches Roc's Comments: Jan Russell and her husband had a nice old early 20th century white clapboard farmhouse. They were introduced to me by Jan's brother, David Milliken. David worked for me briefly years earlier and we got along well. The Russells wanted an expanded home and we wanted to create a project that both accommodated their need to expand and ultimately looked like it had always been there. I think we accomplished that quite well as most people did not notice the change. Bob Bond was the builder. As an interesting side note. The Russells hired Dennis Bracale to do some landscaping and he volunteered to do a further expansion on their home. The work was done by Steve Demers a former COA design student who later worked in our office on the Gilley Museum project. So the Russell house has become a two generation project. I think Steve did a fine job. |
