How the room is composed

layout
The columned obi reception house faces a shared court, with family rooms, kitchens, storage, and shrines arranged around compound edges.
materials
Lateritic earth, clay plaster, timber posts, palm thatch, woven mats, carved wood, ceramic, and metal form a forest compound.
furniture
Carved stools, low benches, mats, storage jars, baskets, chests, and ritual objects preserve the open court and hall.
lighting
Filtered forest daylight enters the court and columned hall, warming red earth while deeper family rooms remain cool.
decoration
Carved posts and stools, uli-derived wall marks, woven mats, pottery, and ritual objects give the obi concentrated identity.
