Swamp Hut

Looks really easy to build and modify with your own options...Would love the same hut with a wood burning stove and a door.

boston based studio, moskow linn architects has completed 'swamp huts', a project
originally conceived over 20 years ago. located in newton, massachusetts, the family
compound sits on a ten acre site, where only one eighth of an acre was buildable.

I've seen other designs similar to that one where they divided up the rooms of a house into separate buildings connected by either open, roofed or totally enclosed walkways.
