Here is an interesting take on log cabin architecture.

Asked to build a “log shack” that was large enough to sit in and write, Piet Hein Eek came up with this design.

Here is an animation where you can see it in action.

And an image of the inside.

Maybe when Jess gets sick of me monopolizing our spare bedroom with my computer crap, I will build one of these out in our yard.
