my first posting, not a big deal in the great scheme of things, but for me a giant step deeper into this hobby. enough said, the moc:

an italian villa set into the valley’s hillside with a large deck to enjoy the panoramic view. a vespa waits to take you for a spin, the flowering almond drops its blossoms as spring turns into a lazy, breezy summer.



nb: please, if you choose to respond to this posting, i’d appreciate a response to the moc itself and not my penchant for the lower case. many thanks in advance!

I love the fountain! I may have to try working something like that into one of my buildings. Nice job! -Elroy (20 years ago, 5-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)

(...) Very nice mental picture there. I liked the way you treated the front door, it somehow seems inviting... I like the curved window wall by the steps going around to the back, and the grade change between the front and back adds a lot of (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)

(...) I was admiring this on Brickshelf a while ago. It looks wonderful. The elevated landscape looks great, the curved window wall, the flowering tree, the fountain, the roof, it all looks great. Except maybe the patio table (shudder). That's an (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.general, lugnet.town)

I love the curved wall with the windows. Usually when you see a curved wall, it curves outward instead of inward. Besides the inward curvature, your wall has 2 sizes of windows in it. Nice work! (20 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)

This is my favorite shot of your villa: (URL) I love the vertical orientation of roof pieces to simulate a tile roof. This technique is worthy of a constructopedia entry!!! -- Thomas Main thomasmain@myrealbox.com (20 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)

I really like this one too. I especially like the curved wall and the way you did the roof (I'm going to borrow that design idea sometime). The two-level effect is very cool, too. Bruce (20 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)

(...) Hello Deborah, Great design, I love the landscape, curved wall, roof etc. But what I prefer the most is your patio table! A great way to recycle broken trees or after a dog or a kid shewed on the tree! The effect is great for outside furniture (...) (20 years ago, 8-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)

Love it, special mentions go to the pantiles and the oval flowerbed. The whole model is brilliantly executed and works together as a whole. Tim (20 years ago, 11-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)
