The new room does not distinguish itself from its surroundings. Made from the same materials. But that bit different. Put together differently. Different details.
Different presentation. Wall, floor, ceiling. Concrete slabs from the garden walls. Room of garden walls. Garden room. Everyday. Ordinary. How can we be ordinary? How can we be ordinary...
