(...) 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 (20 years ago, 8-Apr-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town, 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)

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)
