This outdoor cooking shelter was built by Urmas Muru and Peeter Pere.

Located in Estonia at the KorvamaÌˆe farm, this cooking shelter has a [timber frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfsufficient-bivouac), is covered in sheet material and is punctured by [circular holes in both facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/missing-room).

Apparently, this type of dwelling is popular to throw parties in since Estonia is not known for being especially warm.

**Implications** - Today's social consumer is open to the possibility of making big purchases simply for the sake of creating a party-friendly ambiance. Thus, things like patio furniture, home entertainment systems and stereos are taken a step further with [outdoor cooking shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-kitchen1), home theaters and in-home dance floors. Ultimately, today's stressed-out consumer just wants to have a good time.
