02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
A linear sequence of family bays, hearths, storage, and animal-related work extends beneath one roof, connected by a shaded veranda and clear passage.
materials
Timber and bamboo framing, clay plaster, rice-straw thatch, woven reed, jute, terracotta, and timber form a breathable floodplain house.
furniture
Sleeping platforms, woven mats, grain bins, low stools, baskets, ceramic vessels, and work surfaces follow the long walls and family bays.
lighting
Deep eaves and small openings filter humid Terai daylight across pale earthen walls, while hearths create warm markers along the interior sequence.
decoration
Smoothed clay relief, woven mats, painted storage vessels, basketry, and structural rhythm add quiet identity to the extended-family room.
