02 Field note
How the room is composed
- layout
- Sleeping and family rooms occupy paired raised blocks connected by an open terrace used for circulation, water storage, meals, and household work.
- materials
- Teak posts and boards, bamboo, clay tile, woven matting, cotton, ceramic, and carved timber create a light ventilated northern Thai house.
- furniture
- Sleeping mats, low cabinets, floor cushions, baskets, clay water jars, and portable trays preserve open floors and easy movement between rooms.
- lighting
- Deep eaves and shutters filter misty garden light across teak surfaces while the open terrace admits air and brighter seasonal daylight.
- decoration
- Carved kalae finials, indigo cotton, woven mats, ceramic jars, and refined timber junctions concentrate craft at roof and threshold.
