The houses were still log cabins made of mud and straw, but they were much more spacious than ordinary staff housing.
The house has doors at both ends, with two large, face-to-face sleeping communal beds.
Every so often, there were stoves burning for warmth, and there were fire pipes under the beds for heating.
The large house could house dozens of people, which was roughly the size of a production team.
