How the room is composed
- layout
- Living rooms occupy an elevated linear floor reached from a covered gallery, with storage and flood-tolerant service space below.
- materials
- Massive oak planks, timber pegs, brick, clay tile, wool, linen, ceramic, and iron form a raised floodplain dwelling.
- furniture
- Painted chests, beds, benches, table, chairs, wall shelves, and a stove furnish compact rooms beside the gallery.
- lighting
- River-plain daylight enters through small windows and the covered gallery, warming oak grain and pale household textiles.
- decoration
- Carved gallery rails, woven blankets, painted furniture, ceramics, and exposed pegged joints provide regional warmth.
