02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
A heated threshing room and compact living chamber connect directly to an unheated threshing floor and storage barn within one elongated building.
materials
Pine logs, rough floorboards, fieldstone, lime, clay, flax linen, and iron give the combined dwelling and barn its austere agrarian character.
furniture
Built-in sleeping benches, a plain table, stools, storage chests, and open shelves cluster near the masonry stove and keep work routes clear.
lighting
Small openings admit low northern daylight across soot-darkened logs, while the monumental stove and simple lamps gather warmth near occupied surfaces.
decoration
Unbleached linen, simple vessels, timber grain, drying tools, and the stove mass create visual order through use rather than display.
