02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
A raised columned hall forms the domestic centre, with reception and private rooms ordered around it and kitchens, granaries, and service yards placed beyond.
materials
Mudbrick, gypsum plaster, painted timber, reed matting, limestone, ceramic, linen, and mineral pigment create a cool, clearly articulated desert house.
furniture
Low stools, chairs, chests, headrests, reed mats, vessels, and small tables remain portable while a raised dais fixes status within the principal hall.
lighting
Clerestory openings bring high desert light between painted columns, leaving surrounding rooms shaded and emphasizing the raised central volume and dais.
decoration
Restrained blue and red pigment, painted column capitals, woven mats, ceramics, and selected household objects animate surfaces without speculative palace luxury.
