What
is it?
Yurts have housed people in Central and East Asia for centuries. The portability
and easy assembly of their homes was, and continues to be, crucial for
these nomadic communities. Our Yurta is inspired by these principals.
The Yurta can serve as a long or short term dwelling (like a cottage or
a festival booth) and vary according to its purpose (it can be installed
on a platform or directly on the ground). The Yurta is an ideal shelter
for backcountry expeditions, base camps, and leisure housing inspired
by nature (to name a few).
Why
Yurt+a?
"Yurta" represents the core ideology behind our product: a marriage between
a building tradition of the Far East and a touch of "polished"
innovation.
YURTA
is the Polish pronunciation of the word YURT.
Where
is it made?
Our Yurtas, and their components, are carefully crafted in Lanark Highlands,
on the picturesque outskirts of Canada's Capital Region - where we strive
to use local and sustainable materials, such as white ash and cedar.
How
is it made?
The base model for our yurts is typically customized according to our
client's needs.
There are many options in material choices and finishes. The main structure,
visible on the inside, is made of wood; showcasing the natural feel and
aesthetic qualities of the Yurta (such as the frame) The outer covers
are sewn with great care and precision and can be made of various materials,
like marine canvas or polyesters.
How
is it used?
The possibilities are endless!
You
decide... it can be used as a temporary booth at an outdoor event, or
a long term dwelling away from city lights.
NOTE: The Yurta can be assembled by two people in about 45 minutes.
Why
this design?
We believe that our design will not only satisfy our client's expectations
but will also serve to inspire its inhabitants.
The
circular space is simply beautiful; combining the finest elements of traditional
and modern designs. The structure of the wall, or lattice, is minimized
to not only make transport and setup easier, but to add a lighter look
and feel to the space. With less structure in the way, windows are accessible
and airy…making the indoors of the Yurta feel like an extension of its
natural surroundings. The canvas shell allows for a gentle glow with little
to obstruct the sounds of its outdoor environment.
And tilt your eye to the sky! The large sky window in the centre of the
space allows for the tracking of the passing sun and clouds throughout
the day...and quite possibly, the Milky Way.
