Bespoke Hand Made Yurts

Yurtcraft offers bespoke yurt designs using the best-quality materials throughout and a high level of craftsmanship. As well as providing alternative living solutions, our yurts can offer additional accommodation for many activities including workshops, social or music events and many others.

Yurts are a versatile form of structure; we build them to combine traditional native materials with modern innovative design features.

Yurts are inspiring spaces; they can provide temporary and long-term solutions for a variety of requirements. Although modified to suit different climates and a wider variety of modern materials, the basic design and spirit of our yurts remains intact.

Yurts offer an affordable, low-impact option for modern living and make freedom of movement possible. Visit the Bespoke Yurts section to find out more about how Yurtcraft yurts are constructed and what we can provide.

How and where can yurts be used?

REST

Yurts are an affordable alternative to the huge building costs and hassles of planning permission which accompany any extension work undertaken at home. It will cost you in the region of 400 pounds per square metre in building fees alone. Annexed to an existing house and connected to its amenities, yurts can provide additional living spaces as a guest bedroom, play space, conservatory, library, living/reading room, kitchen, dining room or sauna.

Raised off the ground on a wooden platform and well insulated, a yurt can be kept warm all year round or be erected in an hour for one off events or guests arriving for a short visit.

Yurts, as a temporary structure, are exempt from planning permission regulations. Yurtcraft is bespoke in the sense that we work closely with the existing features of the location the yurt is to be installed. We can even advise on how yurts can be used in small, inner city terraced gardens and have designs for an egg shaped yurt that makes the most of narrow, rectangular gardens.

WORK

Yurts can be made into excellent home office spaces that make a distinct live/work environment possible. They can be functioning workshops for various crafts (woodwork, pottery, greenwood crafts etc) or a studio for painters, sculptors and the like. Another use could be as a music practice/recording space . For tutors, music lessons and as a study environment a yurt provides a great space in which to teach and learn.

Yurts also make good exhibition spaces for galleries or anyone searching for a temporary venue in which to show their wares in a unique environment.

PLAY

Festivals, all kinds of special occasions, live music events, yoga (to name but a few) can all be accommodated in yurts of various sizes and design.
