Most domesticated rabbits are meant to live indoors.

From bunnymama.com:

Rabbits can be kept outside. MYTH. It is NOT, repeat NOT acceptable to keep a rabbit outdoors in any kind of a pen or cage. In most parts of the country the weather is too extreme for a rabbit to be safe. Excessive heat or intense cold will kill a rabbit that is not properly housed indoors. Here are some good reason why you should NOT keep your bun outdoors. Please make every effort to protect your rabbit, please house him or her in your house with you and your family!

This in no way mean that they cannot be brought outside for exercise, if it is safe to do so (with a proper harness and a watchful eye).

However, in my experience, bringing my two Holland Lops outside is a rather stressful experience for them, and I would never consider putting them in an outdoor hutch. My home is bunny-proofed and they are much more content to get their exercise in the house, where they are much more comfortable and safe.
