From the notebook

Light

Where the afternoon actually lands

South-facing glass is lovely until 3pm. A sheer panel fixes the desk without closing the room.

Layout

What changes when the bed sits under the window instead of against the only wall.

Neighbours

Courtyard noise, kindly

Shared wells and evening chatter — how residents keep a civil volume after nine.
