What is Thoreau's dream house?

Sometimes, he dreams of an enormous one-room house, with unplastered beams and an enormous fire, where all possessions and inhabitants are visible to any who enter or pass through. A place where you can see the fire that cooks your dinner and oven that bakes your break would be better than most houses, where parlors and kitchens and workshops are so removed from each other that all life becomes metaphor; "dinner even is only the parable of a dinner, commonly." Only two guests ever stayed in his small one-room house for a hasty pudding but many such puddings were made there.
