ABOUT US
We have been designing, developing and making the yurta since 2004 in Lanark Highlands, Ontario on the picturesque outskirts of Canada's Capital Region. These little buildings are a source of inspiration and creative drive. We believe that even micro-architecture can be great.

We strive to produce the yurta in a conscientious manner with respect to the client, community and environment. Our rural based studio is the hub where we design, develop, test and produce the Yurta. Several components are out-sourced and made for us specifically by other trades such as carpenters and metal smiths. We support small independent local shops and rely on their workmanship to meet the high standards that we have come to expect.

The proximity between design and production allows us to maintain attention to detail and quality as well as the expertise to customise and develop a specific variation. Our covers and insulation are sewn in-house as one of the more challenging parts of creating a yurta.

Above all, we are here to offer continued support to all our clients past and present. Give us a call!

"We just love our yurta, we're happy to let everyone know!" "Another thing we did with our time away was work away on the yurt...Last week though we finished laying down an oak floor and then sanding sanding sanding! We are SO happy with the way it looks though! I can hardly believe how beautiful it is! It's amazing actually, it's such a beautiful and comfortable space to be in. I love the windows and it's nestled so beautifully in the trees...."
-Laura Weeks, Perth Ontario-

"Spatially gracious - like a natural forest clearing"
- Emmanuelle Van Rutten and Mohammed Al Riffai, Ottawa Ontario-

"Sturdy, robust, bomb-proof in any inclement weather, far surpassing a mere tent in comfort and dare I say, rustic opulence…but more, it's nature's Tardis - when I cross the threshold from a barren landscape into its roomy, welcoming interior, I'm enveloped in a cocoon-like womb of sensory delights w/ the rich play of natural materials soothing my senses and transporting me to a realm of comfort and connectedness w/ the living environment around me."
- Christian Frederick, Ottawa Ontario-
