A medieval cottage with a working market stall built right onto its side — that's the visual move. The main building is a standard timber-framed spruce cottage with a peaked roof and stone foundation, but the right wall extends out into a low awning made of striped Crimson and Warped Slabs (red and teal alternating) that shelters a counter where a merchant would sell goods. The contrast between the warm muted woods of the cottage and the saturated nether-wood colors of the canopy is what makes the composition pop — without that color punch, the build is just another cottage.
It's a medium-sized 82-step build that pairs naturally with Market Stall and Mini Stall (they share the same crimson/warped color language). Drop all three near each other and you immediately have a market square: one big building with attached counter where the wealthy merchant lives upstairs, plus two smaller open-air stalls for visiting traders. The Brewing Stand in the materials list is a fun easter egg — this merchant is also brewing potions on the side.
