no, it's definitely not an advertisement. It's an indigenous Saami store, which was made that way to protect the goods, I guess, against the animals or bad weather.
The interesting thing is we've got such type of a house as a character in Russian folk tales. Избушка на курьих ножках, or A cabin on chicken legs, it's a house of a witch, Baba Yaga, which is able to run on its legs or turn either front or rear to the visitor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Yaga#Cabin_on_chicken_legs
This store may be a prototype for such fairytales:
