02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
A central house room distributes to sleeping chambers and a broad shaded doksat porch, creating compact circulation between indoor and outdoor work.
materials
Timber frame, earth infill, lime plaster, fired tile, oak boards, wool kilim, ceramic, and iron form a light-on-mass rural house.
furniture
A low table, stools, benches, painted chests, beds, shelves, and hearth tools furnish small rooms while the porch supports seasonal activity.
lighting
White plaster reflects garden daylight beneath deep eaves, while the hearth and small windows bring warmth to more enclosed family rooms.
decoration
Kilim textiles, carved porch rails, painted chests, ceramics, and exposed timber add regional warmth within a clearly ordered plan.
