How the room is composed
- layout
- A central domed room connects small alcoves for sleeping, storage, and cooking, with furniture fitted against the thick curved walls.
- materials
- Dry-laid limestone, limewash, stone slabs, timber, linen, wool, ceramic, and iron create a massive cool enclosure.
- furniture
- Built-in bench, low bed, table, stools, shelves, storage niches, and simple chests preserve the small central floor.
- lighting
- A tiny window and deep doorway soften hard Puglian sun across white lime surfaces and the ascending corbelled vault.
- decoration
- Linen, pottery, iron tools, stone niches, woven cloth, and subtle lime texture provide quiet domestic warmth.
