How the room is composed

layout
Three principal room ranges face a compact courtyard, with deep eaves, galleries, thresholds, and a central reception bay organizing extended family life.
materials
Timber posts and boards, fired tile, plaster, pebble mosaic, carved wood, cotton, wool, and ceramic create a resilient highland courtyard fabric.
furniture
A low daybed, chairs, altar cabinet, chests, tables, and ceramic stands align with structural bays while preserving the garden-facing threshold.
lighting
Highland daylight reflects from the pebble court beneath deep tiled eaves, catching painted beam ends and carved door panels in the shaded room.
decoration
Carved doors, painted structural ends, embroidered cushions, pebble pattern, ceramics, and selected ritual objects create a layered Naxi household setting.
