The River Rhine
Photographical Essay by Nikki McClarron
Winter is slowly coming to an end and the first signs of spring are heralding longer days.
While working on our newest and soon to be revealed project, we dive into the extraordinary nature of the river Rhine and its unique colour mood: The constant alternation of flooding and dry periods creates a uniquely dynamic habitat for flora and fauna with a subtle but extraordinary poetry.
These winter images by London-based photographer Nikki McClarron mark the start of a portrait series of the Rhine as it changes with the seasons.
Stay tuned for the summer shots and the first moods of our new project.
"Landscape and nature always play a special role in the design of our houses. We aim to create atmospherical spaces that emerge from the landscape and blend into it."
