簃 is a phono-semantic compound: the bamboo radical 竹 sits above the phonetic 移. The bamboo component points to original bamboo construction, and the character denotes a small annex, side chamber, or pavilion attached to a main building. It is often used in classical architecture for a personal study, library, or quiet retreat.
