Camouflauged Log House by Piet Hein Eek

No it's not a log pile — it's a small garden house designed by Piet Hein Eek in Hilversum, Netherlands. The log house was commissioned as a study for music-entertainer Hans Liberg.

Am I mistaken or are the logs on the windows actually photographs of logs?

Sally305,

I think it might be the same laminate stuff they put on bus windows for advertising....so you can see out from the inside pretty clearly, but from the outside its the photo

sally305 and abc123,

I looked at the photos in the linked website, and all the window coverings appear to be real log slices. You have to open the window "hatches" into the "up" awning position to see out. There's little photo animation at the end that shows the owner opening all of them.
