Textus Libri: Domus Lucens est compositio interior domestica in tertio tabulato domus angularis subarcuatae in Taichung, Taiwan sita.

Ostia vitrea transeuntia ante insulam in culina aperta posita sunt ut vapores coquendi arceantur, dum contactus cum cubiculo communi servatur. Colores nigri, albi et cinerei cum lamina lignea calida ligno duro combinantur.
