The design of the yurt as it is used in Mongolia today, has been proven over many years of use in a harsh and unyielding climate. The physical characteristics of these simple dwellings, strength, portability, and ease of erection make them ideal practical structures for the 21st Century nomad. However it is the feeling invoked by their internal space and structural beauty that alters the tempo of our lives. The relaxed and tranquil atmosphere somehow helps one to refocus, strengthened by the reassuring sense of history and tradition.
