Mongolian ger
Mongolian ger interiors turn a lightweight portable enclosure into a calm, precisely ordered home through radial structure, felt insulation, a central stove, and clearly understood zones of hospitality.

02 Field note
How the room is composed
- layout
- The circular room is organized around a central hearth beneath the crown ring, with sleeping, storage, work, and honoured positions arranged radially while the south-facing doorway fixes orientation.
- materials
- Sheep felt, willow lattice, painted timber, wool rugs, leather, iron, canvas, and rope combine lightness, insulation, repairability, and vivid craft within a demountable shell.
- furniture
- Low painted chests, compact beds, stools, a small table, and portable storage sit against the lattice wall, leaving the central path and stove clear for circulation and shared use.
- lighting
- Daylight enters through the crown and south door, washing across pale felt and roof poles while the stove and modest lamps gather warmer light near the centre after dark.
- decoration
- Painted chests, restrained woven rugs, folded bedding, useful vessels, and decorated structural members bring colour without obscuring the ger’s exact radial order.
