02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
A large sunken room contains family platforms, hearths, storage, and work zones, reached through roof openings that limit exposure to severe coastal weather.
materials
Driftwood, whalebone, stone, turf, grass thatch, hide, woven fibre, and earth create a low insulated envelope in a treeless island landscape.
furniture
Raised sleeping platforms, hide bedding, woven mats, storage racks, baskets, lamps, and tools keep the central shared floor clear.
lighting
Roof entries and smoke openings admit narrow shafts of cold maritime light while lamps and hearths create low warm pools below ground.
decoration
Woven grass, stitched hides, carved tools, structural bone, and orderly storage provide visual character through exact subsistence craft.
