02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
A compact room and veranda support cooking, sleeping, storage, and art making around a clear multipurpose floor.
materials
Earth plaster, lime, mineral and plant pigment, timber, bamboo, clay tile, woven fibre, and cotton form the domestic canvas.
furniture
Low charpoy, stools, storage jars, baskets, chests, and work tools leave painted walls and thresholds visible.
lighting
Veranda-filtered daylight reveals fine dotted linework across warm plaster while the deeper room remains softly shaded.
decoration
Interlocking animals, trees, birds, dots, and flowing lines form culturally grounded murals rather than generic tribal pattern.
