I agree! There are still a few of these houses in my home town. Some of them have been reconstructed and look great. They are perfectly handling different weather conditions so you don't even need heating.

The museum looks idyllic and it looks like a perfect lifestyle to us but I am sure that they had their issues too :)

They were more intent on building for comfort, utilising nature in those days my friend. Today the focus is rather on architectural good looks.

Since the beginning mankind has had issues, but I am sure that they also coped with their issues. In retrospect I for one find their lifestyle much better.
Blessings!
