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.

(...) Very nice house. I rather like the way you've made the waterfall using both solid blue pieces & trans-blue pieces. One other thing that's interesting to is how you made the spiral staircase. I've created spiral stairs too, but never thought of (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Deborah, I really like your work. There's a nice organic component to it that you rarely see in MOCs. You also have a great way of making interesting terrain for the building to be built on. Thanks, George (21 years ago, 8-Apr-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town, FTX)

Hi Deborah,It was nice to see your MOC creation of the Cliff House it brought me back some nice memories of my last visit to San Francisco where I had a very romantic breakfast with my wife. Good job and congratulations ! Best regards. Gustavo (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town, FTX)

In lugnet.announce.moc, Deborah Higdon wrote some cool stuff, then signed it: (...) Beautiful interplays between positive and negative space, the indoors and the outdoors, nature and construct, human being and site. The simplicity seems to give your (...)

(...) <snip> (...) Some more beautiful MOC's again. The Cliffhouse is beautiful. Makes me want to build something just to include a waterfall. That waterfall is awesome. I can see why you'd have to tear it down. That's a lot of window packs. And (...) (21 years ago, 9-Apr-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town, lugnet.loc.ca.on.ott, lugnet.general)
