floor plans, elevations, sketches, colored renderings Roc's comment: Brian Shaw, the builder who built Janey Whitney's house for us asked me to design a spec house that he might build that would help a developer sell the land. Good design on an odd site.

Demo plans, floor plans, roofing plans, elevations, sections and details, site plan Roc's Comments: There was a famous old Bar harbor mansion along the shore path that became a white elephant in the 60's and was cut in half. Each half was sold as a separate building. The Scotts, a wonderful older couple from Philadelphia (?) asked us to renovate their half into a more livable summer home. Jeffry Wright and I took on the task with enthusiasm. The carpentry contractors Bond Builders had previously added a colonial addition to the Frenchman Bay side of the half structure that was perfectly functional and paid for. We did not want to intrude on some of the fabulous Queen Ann/ shingle style remaining structure so we created a very complicated addition that appeared consistent with the Queen Ann appearance of the Western or entrance side of the building and consistent with the "colonial" appearance of the Frenchman's Bay Eastern facade. I think it worked and the Scotts were delighted.
