There
is a floor. Parquet. With inlays. Laid out years ago.
It
is valued. Cared for. But inevitably it will wear down.
There
is already a dip in the surface. Where most people walked.
The
downstairs neighbors hear the steps. Muffled by the floor.
The
supporting structure and their ornamented ceiling.
There
are walls. With layers of paint. Plaster. Insulation.
Yesterday’s
newspaper. Old news. Stocks. Ups and downs.
Cavity
that allows for ventilation. Avoiding a cold-bridge.
Then
weather-proof cladding towards the outside.
There
are wooden panels. Along the edges. Covering the tricky joints.
From
window to wall. From wall to door opening.
To
prevent draught. Shaped strips of wood. Alternating planes.
Light
and dark shades. Style and taste. For your eyes to adjust.
Between
the soft light in the room and the brightness outside.
There
are windows. Two layers. Opening inwards and outwards.
The
gap between the two. Absorbs most of the noise from the street.
