|
| 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. |

| 1219 | Dartmouth College Additions and Renovations to the Thayer School of Engineering |
|
| October 15, 1987 wall sections and details Roc's comments: We did an addition to the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth when I was an associate at the firm of Venturi, Rauch and Scott Brown in Philadelphia. It was a pleasure and education working for Bob Venturi and John Rauch as the Project Manager on this project. The stock market took a dive when the bids were due and this project came in one million dollars under budget. The professors were delighted when we used the money to upgrade their laboratory equipment. This was the only class 1000 clean room I was involved with and I enjoyed doing the drawings of the entry structure and overseers room myself. Tom Fisher was the project manager for the very complicated construction phase and the Boston firm Payette Associates expert laboratory designers were our partners on this project. As complicated as anything I have ever done and a great preparation for the two hospital additions we did in later years. I liked this kind of complicated work. After this project the Venturi firm was asked to do two major projects for Dartmouth. |

|
| site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections, construction details, electrical, mechanical. plumbing, heating, landscape photographs are of a 3-D model Roc's comments: Gates was the first project we did for COA when I was still in Philly working with Lyman Perry. We went to an interview and were chosen to design one single small dormitory/ home for something like 8-12 students. It was never built. But a few years later the college asked for the larger dorm that resulted in B/T. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
