How the room is composed

layout
Rooms face a compact internal court, with controlled street entry, stair, washing area, drain, storage, and upper-level access.
materials
Standardized baked brick, mud mortar, gypsum plaster, timber, reed matting, ceramic, stone, and copper create a dense urban house.
furniture
Low beds, stools, storage jars, chests, woven mats, baskets, and work surfaces remain portable around fixed bathing and storage areas.
lighting
The internal court provides primary daylight and ventilation while blank street walls maintain privacy and cool surrounding rooms.
decoration
Brick bonds, smooth plaster, beadwork, painted pottery, woven mats, and carefully made vessels provide restrained domestic detail.
