The Yurt People by definition consist of individuals and groups who dwell in and construct Yurts.
Yurts are inherently different than other forms of shelter.
The primary difference is that this form of architecture utilizes the ancient principles and wisdom of tension and compression used in the traditional felt covered Yurt. Through the efforts of the Yurt People, the Yurt has evolved using these same principles of tension and compression using modern earth friendly engineered materials. My name is David Raitt. I have been building and designing Yurts since 1969. I am the sole owner of Vital Designs.
