02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
A long central passage links repeated family bays, each arranged around paired hearths with raised sleeping platforms and storage extending along both walls.
materials
Bent saplings, elm bark, basswood fibre, timber platforms, earth, reed matting, hide, and woven splint baskets form a renewable communal enclosure.
furniture
Raised sleeping shelves, woven mats, baskets, drying racks, low work surfaces, and suspended storage keep the aisle and hearth zones unobstructed.
lighting
Doorways and roof smoke openings admit soft shifting daylight through the bark shell, while paired fires rhythmically illuminate each family bay.
decoration
Woven mats, splint baskets, useful carved objects, structural repetition, and orderly storage provide visual cadence grounded in collective domestic life.
