Welcome to YURTA (Canada), the website of a unique contemporary shelter that is:

>Steadfast
>Quick to install
>Light-weight
>Easy to transport
>Minimal in footprint

The YURTA is an original design developed to provide a strong yet truly portable dwelling that is rooted in nomadic tradition. Traditional yurts are considered to be portable structures. If you require a shelter that will provide a very comfortable space with a capacity to be easily moved then YURTA is the right choice.

Our goal is to build strong, comfortable and inspiring living spaces in the best of tent making tradition. We make one size and we make it well. The Yurta with insulation weights 380lbs/ 172kg and can be set-up or taken-down by 2 people in about 2 hours. We offer a 17' / 5.2m (diameter) Yurta with 2 wall height options. It features 3 large windows and a large operable dome.

For larger spatial needs we recommend interconnecting multiple units. Please browse through this site to discover the many unique features of YURTA and contact us directly with any questions that you may have.

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 customize 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!

"Firstly, Thank you so much for all of your help and support, and for the amazing Yurt! It is such a beautiful structure to be in. Your attention to all the little details is amazing, right down to the zip-in windows and aluminized felt. Awesome! So, cheers to you for your dedication to excellence in design, sustainable and versatile housing" - Shamus Birkel- Nelson, BC

"We just love our yurta, we're happy to let everyone know!" "Last week 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

"The Yurta is amazing. I find it to be a total time warp in there - I plan on staying for an hour and end up staying an extra 4 without even realizing!" -Erin and Mike- Vancouver, BC

"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
