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.
