02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
Storage and livestock occupy the masonry lower level, while the raised family room gathers cooking, sitting, sleeping, and work beneath a steep roof.
materials
Fieldstone, timber logs and boards, wood shingles, clay, wool kilim, iron, and carved wood balance a heavy base with a lighter upper house.
furniture
Carved chests, three-legged stools, a low table, wall shelves, bedding, and portable vessels follow the walls around the central hearth.
lighting
A small mountain window brings cool winter light across timber boards while fire and lamps concentrate warmth below the steep shingled roof.
decoration
Kilim pattern, carved chest fronts, woven blankets, pottery, and exposed joinery enrich the family room through regional household craft.
