02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
A formal reception room faces a luminous shebeke window wall, with perimeter divans and shallow niches leaving the centre open while a fireplace and ordered bays anchor domestic hospitality.
materials
Walnut lattice, coloured glass, gypsum plaster, wool carpet, painted timber, copper, and upholstery combine exact geometric craft with richly changing daylight.
furniture
Low divans, small tables, stools, trays, and compact chests remain close to the perimeter so the window wall, floor pattern, and social centre stay legible.
lighting
Red, amber, blue, and green light passes through nail-less shebeke geometry, projecting moving colour across plaster, carpet, niches, and painted panels.
decoration
Floral wall painting, shallow display niches, patterned wool, copper vessels, and the geometric glazing form a coordinated room-scale ornamental system.
