The River House
The same home, three times, over running water.
Stone and timber. An arch for the river to keep going. Lights on at sunset. The house is the bridge.
First the span with ivy and a deck in the grass. Then the mill, decks on both banks, the water dark underneath. Then the smaller one — chimney smoking, wildflowers, one porch over one creek.
Three studies of a place you could actually live. The drowned city was the walkway over water. This is the house that stayed.
The span. Arch, ivy, the river going through the middle of the house.
The mill. Decks on both banks. The water dark under the stone.
The cottage. One porch, one creek, smoke in the chimney.
