Tucked in a remote, forested landscape, this project begins with a singular architectural challenge: transforming the ancient concept of a yurt, a traditionally nomadic, circular dwelling, into a permanent, self-sufficient wooden home built entirely by hand. At first glance, the structure retains the fami* rounded silhouette and central skylight of its Central Asian origins.
But on closer inspection, it becomes clear that this is a radical reinterpretation. Designed for year-round living, the project blends the elegant geometry of traditional yurts with modern materials, carpentry precision, and infrastructural planning to create a unique off-grid habitat.
This project is not a prefabricated solution dropped into nature, but the result of deep planning, spatial reasoning, and physical labor. It offers a rare and fascinating look into how traditional architectural logic can be extended with modern craftsmanship to create a dwelling that is both aesthetic and infrastructural, rooted and resilient. From water to wood, rooflines to cabinetry, every detail is built with purpose, precision, and a profound respect for self-reliance.
