I think we did a good job of giving them the updated functions they requested and respecting the existing structure. They were very pleasant people to work with. Avik Eloyan helped with the drawings and computer work. [show more]

Description: Elevations, floor plans, sketches Roc's Comments: So Findlay and Joanie are two delightful friends. Findlay is a fan and collector of old steam engines and various mechanical objects of functional beauty. I had done a renovation of a kitchen of a house he owned in an earlier life nearby and when he asked me to help work up a new home on land he owned between the beautiful Grosvenor Atterbury church and the Greenrock staging area I suggested that his new home might be mostly big barn and work area for his heavy machinery passion with a smaller, functional home attached. When the time came to begin the project I was overwhelmed with other projects and recommended the Surrey firm of Bingham and Woodward to do the project and helped during the construction supervision phase. I think it came out well and have since enjoyed many wonderful dinners in the "barn" which has become more of an art gallery than workshop. [show more]
Description: Elevations, floor plans, details Roc's Comments: Joanie Matheson needed a get away place. A garden house or teahouse. A place that was hers alone and she could escape to it and read or write or just sit and think. It is interesting how many of these little "getaway" places there are here on MDI. A phenomenon of the intense summer season and its sometimes draining impact on the matriarch and hostess. This project was a real pleasure to do. Joanie is a special person and I could sit and draw it by hand and do it all without staff and complications and I love the result and think Joanie does as well. [show more]
Description: Sketches, floor plans, elevations Roc Comments: An addition for daughter of Josephine Ingle who we did a guest house for years earlier. Nice couple who did a very respectful expansion on this house that we originally designed for Ira Levy and Stan Gurell.
Description: Sections, floor plan, elevations Roc's Comments: Finley and Joanie Matheson had a sweet piece of land in Seal Harbor behind the wonderful Grosvenor Atterbury church. When Finley asked me to design a new home for them I unfortunately had more work than we could handle and did not want to agree to something we could not due and recommended some fellows in Blue Hill. When their project was complete I did have time to design a small garden cottage for Joanie. This was after those wonderful little "nap houses" scattered thru the hills built by large summer families that wanted a quiet respite from the summer frenzy. Joanie loved it. [show more]
Description: Elevations, floor plans, roof framing, mechanical, sketches Roc's Comments: Ned Johnston asked me to design a good sized home for his family. The fee was very tight but we put together a sturdy handsome old boat of a place that not only was home to his growing children but gracefully included his new wife and children a few years later. I like this house a lot. Bob Bond built it and his crew did a good job.
