Description "There are on the unknown roads
The traces of unknown beasts; 
The log-hut on the chicken legs all is 
Without doors and windows; "

The concept based on traditional Russian fairytale poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila" written by Alexander Pushkin. 
The hut on chicken legs may be based on real buildings. In fact, this is an interpretation of an ordinary construction popular among nomadic peoples of Siberia, invented to preserve supplies against animals during long periods of absence. A doorless and windowless log cabin is built upon supports made from the stumps of two or three closely grown trees. The stumps, with their spreading roots, give a good impression of "chicken legs." The only access into the cabin is via a trapdoor in the middle of the floor.
A similar but smaller construction was used by Siberian pagans to hold figurines of their gods. There are indications that ancient Slavs had a funeral tradition of cremation in huts of this type.

This reminds me of rise of the tomb raider. There was one part with a treehouse like this as well.
