02 Field note
How the room is composed
- layout
- A compact principal room gathers stove, table, bed, storage, and work along the walls, leaving a small shared centre within the log shell.
- materials
- Dark softwood logs, white lime, clay tile, timber furniture, wool, linen, ceramic, and iron combine durable structure with renewable surface pattern.
- furniture
- A painted chest, simple table, stools, bed, shelves, and masonry stove fit tightly around the room and coordinate with woven household textiles.
- lighting
- A small snowy window and warm stove light sharpen the contrast between dark timber, white painted geometry, and saturated bed linens.
- decoration
- White lime motifs, red-and-blue weaving, painted furniture, pottery, and repeated geometric borders create a disciplined rather than crowded interior.
