How the room is composed

layout
A raised linear platform holds hearth, sleeping, storage, weaving, and gathering zones above an open flood-tolerant undercroft.
materials
Bamboo posts, woven bamboo walls and floors, timber, grass thatch, cane, cotton, clay, and metal create a flexible house.
furniture
Sleeping mats, baskets, loom, low stools, storage racks, cooking vessels, and hanging tools keep the floor adaptable.
lighting
Humid river light filters through woven walls and open eaves while the raised floor admits air beneath the room.
decoration
Bamboo weave, patterned textiles, baskets, loom threads, clay vessels, and structural lashings provide warm visual rhythm.
