Nevermind. I see it's a "cob house" which is made basically of mud and straw. This one is built on Mayne Island in BC. So it's not a concrete block wall covered by stucco, like I expected. It's mud and is totally organic.
Looks like the hinge side is a real stud covered by that driftwood log, and the swing side is the curvy driftwood log attached to the dried mud wall.
You can see it here at about 2:15
