Taper-Wall Yurts

Two Story Concentric Yurt - workshop space

Mike designed this yurt for the Owen Farm in Southern New Hampshire to be used as a workshop space.  It will house yoga camp, farm camp, soap making workshops, and homeschool group to name a few.  The main structure was assembled during a two-week intensive workshop with mostly a volunteer crew.

24' Yurt - Residence

This yurt was designed for a young couple in Northern Vermont as their primary residence.  The main structure was constructed in a one week workshop intensive with a volunteer crew.  This yurt was built atop a round 20' diameter existing floor platform

Mike's Friend and Mentor, Bill Coperthwaite designed this yurt for Josh and Melanie.  Before his passing, Bill and Mike were planning to build this yurt together.  Sadly, Mike had to continue without Bill in preparing to build the yurt.  Mike led the two two-week workshops in August and October of 2014.  It was a great joy to share those four weeks with all the great folks near the coast of Maine with sunshine on our skin and sawdust in our hair.   Contact Mike and he can send you a yurt plan, or design a custom yurt!
