well, my first posting went really well. i must admit, i really appreciated
hearing from people whose names were familiar since i’ve been lurking around for
years, and to be welcomed so positively into what i know is a really fine
community. and while these mocs that i’m announcing are in no way new, they’ve
been on brickshelf for a while, i figure this is what lugnet is for, to share my
work.
cliff house:
built early last year, it stayed around for a long while because it broke my
heart to break it up. it was a 3 story house with removable roof and floor with
a lap pool that ran from the front hall to the ocean wall. it featured a movable
glass wall that extended the living space out onto the deck built into the
rockface cliff. the bedroom and tv room on the 3rd floor were divided by a
balcony that overlooked the waterfall that flowed (by the virtue of lego
engineering) between the 2nd and 3rd floor (environmentalists could believe that
its power was harnessed to generate electricity for the house) and cascaded
dramatically down into the ocean, to be viewed from the floor to ceiling windows
of the dining room. imagine that dinner party!
museum of fine arts:
built last fall. a simple one story building with peaceful gardens, meandering
pathways and statuary. 3 wings featured “the grand masters”, “french
impressionists” and “medieval monarchs”. the open air patio was accessed from
the exterior open wall. the two reflecting pools were traversed by a simple
arched bridge. one pool featured a fountain, the other a replica of the venus
de milo.
i hope you enjoy these mocs like i have.
