02 Field note
How the room is composed
- layout
- Equal rooms connect to one another and independently to a side patio, with a gallery, service rooms, and rear court extending along the narrow lot.
- materials
- Brick masonry, lime plaster, encaustic tile, timber doors, corrugated metal, iron, glass, marble, and woven cloth form a durable urban type.
- furniture
- Wardrobes, iron beds, timber tables, chairs, sideboards, and portable screens let identical rooms shift between reception, sleep, dining, and work.
- lighting
- Tall glazed doors pull patio daylight into every room while the covered gallery filters summer sun and links the repeated thresholds.
- decoration
- Encaustic tile, coloured glass, plaster cornices, ironwork, painted doors, and potted plants give rhythm to the long domestic sequence.
