The young family was unable to collect enough money to purchase typical accommodations. They once saw a movie on yurts and concluded that, if they do the necessary repairs, this style of house is fairly adequate for life. Naturally, it’s impossible to paste wallpaper inside, but Zach and Nicole devised a strategy, and six months later they demonstrated the interior they had managed to construct.

Generally speaking, a traditional yurt is a portable, insulated, round tent with a diameter of 6 to 9 meters. Finding and purchasing a frame is not difficult because the nomadic peoples of Central Asia still actively utilize them. Zach and Nicole made the decision to use the conventional design as a starting point but to modernize it, such as by adding a typical bedroom and kitchen.

The 9-meter-diameter yurt that was purchased was designed to utilize every square inch of the available space. Outside, it appears to be a typical nomadic home, but inside, there are no signs of tents. The central room, where a bathroom with a toilet was installed, and the wall-integrated kitchen are the focal points of the yurt’s interior layout.

The bedroom’s floor is the block’s roof inside the yurt; the height of the tent allowed for the construction of a bed on the second floor. Each yurt has a light window, which, in this case, serves as the bedroom’s natural lighting source.

The dining and living spaces are zoned off from the rest of the first floor’s utilitarian sections. A brief video tour of a contemporary yurt shows Zach and Nicole holding a housewarming celebration and inviting the neighborhood. Many of them set aside their doubts after witnessing what the interior of a nomadic yurt looked like, and some even expressed a desire to purchase such a home for themselves.
