02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
A tiny doorway enters a single low room where sleeping platforms, hearth, storage, and dairy vessels occupy the curved perimeter.
materials
Bamboo ribs, rattan ties, grass thatch, stone, timber, clay, wool, and woven fibre create a compact highland envelope.
furniture
Low bedding, baskets, dairy vessels, stools, storage ledges, and hearth tools preserve the limited central floor.
lighting
One small doorway admits cool Nilgiri light while firelight reveals the dense arched roof and dark interior surfaces.
decoration
Black-red-white embroidered cloth, basket weave, carved dairy objects, and the roof rhythm provide restrained cultural detail.
