Property plan, site plan, floor plans, elevations, schedules, framing plans, details, sections, mechanical plans Roc's Comments: I have liked most of the clients I have worked for over the years. The McLeans are in the top 5. Two older Philadelphia people who found each other later in life and joined their big families. They were happy and kind and wonderful to work with. Don had found some property that was thought to be inaccessible but once we had hiked to the site the view was magnificent looking down into all of Northeast Harbor and across to Greenings and Southwest. Harris Hyman, my partner and friend was an excellent civil engineer and he worked out a precipitous drive up the side of the mountain to their ideal site. We decided that, while the view was excellent from there we did not want to harm the view looking back toward their home so I suggested we build the home then only sparingly prune tree limbs for the view. As the land was so steep I also suggested we wrap the grade level and porches and support columns in study western red cedar lattice made to silver out and blend into the surrounding forest texture. This was the first time I tried this and have used it often since. The mottled texture of the surface diminishes the visual impact of a structure on its surround. Something, I think, the early shingle style architects tried often. I was a full time employee working for Venturi, Scott Brown in Philadelphia at the time and did this project at night and on weekends. It was good to see the McLeans in their home state and know the vacation home site as well. This project, in my mind was a total success.
