02 Field note
How the room is composed
- layout
- Shallow rooms align along a broad elevated gallery, allowing family life to expand onto the veranda while retaining compact heated rooms for winter.
- materials
- Chestnut timber, fieldstone piers, clay tile, wool, copper, and lime finishes balance a light raised body with a durable weathering base.
- furniture
- A timber daybed, plain table, chairs, cupboards, kilim, and portable chests support seasonal movement between interior rooms and the gallery.
- lighting
- Garden daylight enters through closely spaced doors and windows, while the veranda filters summer sun and a ceramic stove warms darker winter interiors.
- decoration
- Carved fretwork, balustrade rhythm, woven wool, copper vessels, and warm board grain concentrate embellishment along the inhabited threshold.
