I've been trying to research rural European common folk-owned houses circa early Middle Ages (around 500) to the end of the Renaissance (1600).
Aside from the very basics and small snippets, I haven't had much luck (most of what I found focuses on the architecture pertaining to the gentry and nobility or urban architecture).

Basically, I'm hoping to build a little office/workshop. Because I love history (as well as taking inspiration from a youtube video I saw of someone making a Viking house), I was hoping to build it in a way that's historically accurate.
I'm not picky about any specific type of building/era as I would like to know more before I make any decisions.

Anything suggestions would be so greatly appreciated!
