this moc made its formal debut at the parlugment meeting last night and made it
home safely to be photographed.
 a minor
french manor in what could be somewhere in france perhaps. with small courtyard
entrance and ever-present fountain. surrounded by formal and informal garden
settings with apple orchard, meandering pathways, reflecting pool and formal
flowerbeds, lemon tree and gazebo.
 
the roof is removed to reveal 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (hence the “minor” rating)
and a large upstairs hallway attained via a twin curved staircase. twinned
hallways end at small arched balconies overlooking the formal downstairs rooms.
along the back of the chateau at the lower level is the formal ballroom with
floor to ceiling windows and baronial fireplaces at either end. the overhang is
an arched balcony with french doors.
in hindsight, it would have been nice to have built a removable second level but
the plated floor fell right in the middle of the arch and trellised fence design
which i didn’t want to compromise. your imagination will have to suffice. when
i destroy the moc, i may post more photos of the lower level but as there is no
furniture in the moc itself, it makes for a less than interesting layout.

enjoy.

| (...) Just commented on your warehouse loft MOC, and saw this one. Very nice one here too, especially the garden area. Did you have to do a bit of study to get the french style right? So what's your next architectural triumph going to be? :) John (20 years ago, 28-Jun-04, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)
