A small medieval blacksmith's home and forge in one — bottom floor is open-air working area with the actual forge equipment (3 Chipped Anvils, 2 Blast Furnaces, a Smithing Table, a Cauldron, 2 Magma Blocks for the fire glow), top floor is enclosed living quarters with a peaked granite-slab roof. The stone-brick foundation lifts the whole structure on stubby pillars, leaving the workspace visible from the road. Climbing vines (31!) cover one wall, a chained Lantern hangs over the work area, and a Campfire on the roof venting through the chimney puts smoke trailing into the sky from above the forge.
It's smaller than the existing Black Smith build but more atmospheric — the open-floor design means everyone passing by can see the smith working, which sells the village-life detail. Pair it with Three Story Cottage (the wealthy merchant) and Tiny Cottage (the regular villager) and your medieval village suddenly has class hierarchy: the smith works street-level, the merchant lives one floor up, the lord lives in the tower at the end of the road.
