How the room is composed

layout
A low circular room centers on the hearth, with a raised sleeping shelf and storage arranged around the enclosed perimeter.
materials
Timber posts and boards, grass thatch, bark, woven fibre, earth, gourd, and stone create a highly insulated highland shelter.
furniture
Sleeping mats, low shelves, baskets, gourds, tools, and hearth stones preserve the small central working area.
lighting
One low doorway admits misty mountain light while the central fire warms the dark timber and dense roof interior.
decoration
Basket weave, gourd surfaces, fibre bags, timber grain, and orderly tools provide restrained texture through daily use.
