02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
A compact raised room combines hearth, sleep, storage, and work, with loft space and thresholds fitted into the timber frame.
materials
Hardwood posts, beams and boards, wooden pegs, bamboo, woven rush, clay, and cotton form a repairable all-timber house.
furniture
Low benches, sleeping platform, chests, stools, baskets, shelves, and hearth tools align with structural bays and walls.
lighting
Small openings admit cool highland daylight across dark boards while hearth glow reveals carved joints and polished surfaces.
decoration
Geometric carving, fitted joinery, woven mats, domestic tools, and timber grain integrate symbolism directly with construction.
