How the room is composed

layout
A rectangular single room centers on the hearth, with sleeping, storage, work, and sacred positions ordered in relation to the east-facing window.
materials
Timber posts, bark, reed thatch, cattail matting, woven fibre, earth, and hide create a breathable shell assembled from forest and wetland materials.
furniture
Low timber storage, woven mats, sleeping rolls, carved vessels, and suspended drying racks keep furnishings portable and the hearth perimeter clear.
lighting
Cold diffuse daylight enters through the sacred east window and doorway, meeting low hearth light beneath smoke-darkened rafters and dense thatch.
decoration
Woven borders, carved implements, material texture, and carefully placed domestic objects provide measured visual rhythm without applied surface display.
