How the room is composed

layout
The raised family floor and hearth overlook a lower animal bay, while a loft and built-in containers hold grain within the compact shared volume.
materials
Fieldstone, clay mortar, timber posts, earth, tile, wool, olive wood, woven reed, and painted pottery form a thermally stable mountain house.
furniture
Low benches, sleeping mats, stools, grain bins, storage jars, baskets, and hearth equipment fit fixed zones without blocking the central passage.
lighting
Narrow Atlas daylight enters through the doorway and small openings, catching painted pottery and warm timber above the darker animal level.
decoration
Geometric pottery, woven blankets, carved utensils, smoothed clay surfaces, and the measured timber division bring identity to a working interior.
