02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
Small interconnected rooms cluster around a central cookstove, keeping daily work, meals, and conversation close to heat while short passages limit exposure to wind and rain.
materials
Cypress and coigüe planks, wooden shingles, black iron, local wool, woven fibre, simple glass, and repaired joinery develop a tactile patina under maritime weather.
furniture
Robust plank tables, benches, wall shelves, storage chests, stools, and built-in window seats are made locally and sized for compact multi-purpose rooms.
lighting
Small windows frame grey water and admit soft rainy daylight, while the stove glow and modest pendants bring warm focus to the shared table after dark.
decoration
Rust, cream, and charcoal wool textiles, baskets, drying herbs, wooden tools, and local ceramics create a lived-in rhythm grounded in useful household production.
