02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
A compressed service core, sleeping platform, work surface, and storage wall organize a small capsule around one strong opening and a legible structural bay.
materials
Exposed concrete, prefabricated panels, brushed metal, plywood, rubber flooring, laminate, glass, and visible bolts make growth and replacement part of the interior language.
furniture
Built-in desks, folding surfaces, modular storage boxes, compact tubular chairs, and convertible benches allow one precisely planned volume to support changing uses.
lighting
A large circular window, recessed utility lamps, adjustable task lights, and integrated linear fittings distribute light without occupying scarce floor or wall area.
decoration
Orange module fronts, black hardware, numbered joints, technical objects, and a few personal tools preserve the system’s clarity while making the capsule inhabitable.
