sections, floor plans, elevations, site plans Roc's comments: Back in the late 70's we experience one of the cyclical oil fuel crises and the Carter Administration decided to shake some ideas out of the crazies in the back woods as we were at the end of the pipeline and it was in our best interest to come up with inventive alternatives to expensive fuels. The Feds thru the AIA research organization, DOE and HUD invited us to design a single family house using alternative heat supply and delivery systems. Harris Hyman and I were given the Northeast and specifically Binghamton, NY as our site. Binghampton is the city with the lowest number of sunlight hours in the Northeast. Harris and I decided, after a few cocktails, that we would design a building that required no outside source of energy beyond the sun and a small wood stove backup for eccentric moments. We were flown to St. Louis and spent a few days presenting and defending our concepts with teams from other regional areas of the US. Our design, and particularly the engineering approach was quite a hit and the jury after much debate accepted the design with commendation but nothing was ever done with the work after the conference ended.

Section plans, floor plans, elevations, site plans, sketches Roc's comments: Isabel and John Ed Anthony were the nicest clients I had in 45 years of practice. They had funded a Fay Jones Church near Hot Springs Arkansas and liked architecture. They were patient and good-natured and always brought the best out of me. I like them very much and we became good friends. Our office designed six buildings for them. Three here on MDI (two built) and three in Hot Springs (one built) The people who helped me with the construction drawings were Tod Hardy and Jeff Wright. First project done for the Anthonys. Included a bridge designed by Waite Akins engineer from Old Town.

colored schematic Roc's comment: Christopher Hutchins asked us to design a concert pavilion for the waterfront in Bangor. We did a substantial amount of work and came up with the design and development drawings for a unique cable and canvas structure meant to look like a cluster of maple trees on the shore of the Penobscot. When we brought it to the New York engineering firm for construction development their aggressive and condescending approach made me suggest we drop the project. Chris agreed and the disappointment of the experience lead to our abandoning the project. I have a great model made of wood and mylar at home. Wish this one had gone another way.

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.

Foundation plan, floor plans, elevations, sections, sketches. Roc's Comments: Eva Eicher and Dorcas Corrow were excellent scientists and an integral part of the Jackson Lab. They owned land on Hodgdon Pond in Seal Cove and first asked me to help them renovate a little old house they lived in as a temporary residence and then asked for the design of a new home closer to the Pond. I should have know that working with a scientist as accomplished as Eva would be no small task. She questioned (with no malice) EVERYTHING. And she wanted to be a part of the process. I did probably twenty different designs and three or four models for them to review. Each one got closer to their dream home. It was a compliment to me that they were so deeply interested in every facet of my work. Eva each time had to start with the exact size and location of the kitchen sink. From there she worked her way out thru the building. They became very close and dear friends and I treasure the time we spent working this dream home out. They love the location of the sink.

Floor plan, elevations Never built Roc's Comments: nice guy " At my age I don't buy green bananas." Flo liked symmetry. The contractor asked him why he did not have the Izod alligator symbol over both breast pockets of his shirt. Funny nice old guy. Eventually found a nice house on Somes Sound and sold the land to the Barretts and we went on to design and build an excellent home for them on the same site.
