Here’s another cabin, this time by Zecc Architects and Roel van Norel for a client in the Netherlands.

“Building atop the foundation of a previous greenhouse was a cost-cutting measure,” according to Dwell; this “allowed the project to be considered a renovation and thereby qualify for a temporary tax reduction. Its traditional, gabled form also pays homage to the original structure.”

The shutters are awesome, I think, and the effect at night is otherworldly, like an inhabited lantern.

(I am under the impression that these photos were taken by Laura Mallonee, but the attribution at Dwell leaves this somewhat ambiguous; apologies if I have misattributed someone else’s work).
