Part 1 explains the intricacies of the house from the tides that rush in on all sides to the statues that are commonly seen and to the bones of the people and creature that lived there before. Piransi also list the names of his journals and their number systems. In this regard, I think he knows that there is another reader, and he must keep track of everything for us and create all of the different systems (the numbering of time). As he navigates the house alone, he becomes increasingly fixated on the things that give the house character. Part 1 serves as a way to bring forth initial ideas of the house he is in currently and to his situation (amnesia). This part helps the reader to focus on nuances that seem to become important later.
