02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
The open pendopo leads through a transitional zone to the enclosed dalem, while four saka guru columns establish the ceremonial and structural centre.
materials
Teak posts and boards, terracotta tile, carved timber, brick, plaster, batik cotton, brass, and woven fibre create a shaded tropical sequence.
furniture
Teak daybeds, low tables, stools, cupboards, floor mats, and portable brass vessels preserve open reception space and allow flexible social arrangements.
lighting
Deep tiled eaves and garden planting filter tropical daylight across polished timber, while pendant lamps concentrate warmer light below the stepped ceiling.
decoration
Carved column details, tumpang sari layers, batik textiles, brass vessels, and selected shadow-puppet forms add controlled ceremonial richness.
