A little research showed me that the photo was of a 1800's cabin in Slovenia, I think the guy had his moisture issues figured out.
One thing we've accomplished here in America is having the most boring architecture on earth shy a few exceptions.
Early on there was some pretty cool masonry, brick and block work that stood out but that's now a lost trade that was probably accomplished by European tradesmen to start with.
We all basically all live in square boxes.
