02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
Rooms cluster around an inward garden or paved court, with deep arched doorways, raised thresholds, perimeter seating, and layered passages separating bright exterior light from cool enclosure.
materials
White lime plaster, limestone, painted cedar, patterned cement or ceramic tile, woven palm fibre, wool, hammered brass, glazed pottery, and cotton age visibly in dry coastal air.
furniture
Low built-in banquettes, woven daybeds, compact timber stools, brass tray tables, storage chests, and floor cushions support flexible gathering without blocking the court.
lighting
Courtyard sun, deep wall reveals, pierced screens, blue shutters, hanging metal lanterns, and small shaded lamps create a deliberate progression from brilliance to shadow.
decoration
Geometric tile, carved niches, striped textiles, brass vessels, blue-and-white ceramics, and bougainvillea shadow focus colour at thresholds and useful surfaces.
