How the room is composed

layout
A raised veranda leads to reception and family rooms, with sleeping, shrine, storage, and cooking areas ordered along the timber platform.
materials
Teak posts and boards, bamboo, clay tile, lacquer, woven cotton, rattan, brass, and ceramic create a durable highland house.
furniture
Low tables, floor cushions, lacquer chests, cabinets, mats, baskets, and shrine stands preserve flexible open rooms.
lighting
Highland daylight filters through shutters and deep eaves, illuminating lacquer red, woven colour, and carved teak grain.
decoration
Carved eaves, lacquerware, patterned textiles, gilded shrine accents, baskets, and brass form a layered but domestic interior.
