02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
Open living and dining zones align with broad balcony glazing, while structural bays, sliding divisions, and full-height storage support compact adaptable apartment life.
materials
Exposed or rendered concrete, walnut veneer, terrazzo, parquet, steel, opal glass, wool, linen, ceramic, and woven fibre balance industrial production with domestic warmth.
furniture
Modular low sofas, bent-plywood chairs, wall-length cabinets, pedestal tables, and compact lounge chairs use robust geometric forms suited to serial manufacture.
lighting
Large balcony doors, globe pendants, mushroom table lamps, simple wall lights, and warm reflected sources distribute clear light across deep structural rooms.
decoration
Abstract rugs, studio ceramics, graphic textiles, indoor plants, and rust, olive, cream, and dark brown tones bring plural regional culture into a disciplined modern envelope.
