How the room is composed

layout
A central salon distributes to paired rooms, with bay windows, raised seating, cupboards, and service spaces arranged symmetrically.
materials
Timber frame, brick infill, lime plaster, carved wood, pigment, wool, silk, ceramic, and metal create a rich light house.
furniture
Perimeter divans, low tables, carved cupboards, chests, chairs, and display niches preserve the formal central floor.
lighting
Broad bay windows illuminate painted ceilings and pale walls while deep room edges hold saturated textile colour.
decoration
Floral murals, polychrome ceilings, carved wood, patterned rugs, niches, and textiles form a complete merchant interior.
