* Houses are physical structures: They are built, not written. Therefore, there is no single author in the traditional sense.
* Multiple people contribute: A house is built by a team of professionals:
* Architect: Designs the house
* Contractor: Oversees the construction
* Engineers: Handle structural and technical aspects
* Construction workers: Build the house
* Subcontractors: Handle specialized tasks (plumbing, electrical, etc.)
* Homeowner's role: The homeowner often plays a significant role in the design and decision-making process.
So, instead of thinking of an "author," you could consider these possibilities:
* The architect: They create the blueprint and overall vision of the house.
* The builder: They bring the architect's design to life.
* The homeowner: They own the house and make the final decisions on its design and features.
Ultimately, a house is a collaborative effort, and there isn't one single "author."
