02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
Curving openings, built-in benches, bay windows, and connected salons fold circulation into the decorative envelope while keeping light moving through deep urban plans.
materials
Carved oak, hydraulic and mosaic tile, glazed ceramic, wrought iron, coloured glass, stone, plaster, leather, and woven textiles support dense coordination across trades.
furniture
High-backed carved chairs, sinuous cabinets, integrated window seats, curved tables, and asymmetrical display pieces extend architectural profiles into daily objects.
lighting
Floral stained glass, arched balcony doors, iron pendants, coloured shades, and reflected Mediterranean daylight make illumination another patterned surface.
decoration
Botanical relief, whiplash geometry, local floral motifs, patterned paving, sculpted door surrounds, and ochre, cobalt, green, and rose tones establish regional specificity.
