Zach and Nicole couldn’t come up with the money to buy a normal apartment, but they weren’t going to be homeless either. Zak saw a show about nomadic yurts and decided to build one for his family.
The neighbors did not immediately believe in the success of the business, but after six months a cozy round house appeared on the site, far ahead of the standard mansions in terms of functionality.
A traditional yurt is a portable round insulated tent. It is still actively used by nomadic groups in Central Asia. Zach and Nicole decided to take the form of a yurt for their home, but gave it new meaning in the context of the modern world – their architectural education allowed them.
The 9 meter diameter yurt has been designed to make full use of all the space. From the outside it looks like a classic nomadic tent, but inside there is nothing reminiscent of the Middle Ages.
All the interior decoration of the yurt is concentrated around the central room, it has a bathroom, and a kitchen is built into one of the walls.
At the top of this platform is the bedroom.

All other functional points are divided by correct zoning.

Zach and Nicole invited the neighbors to a housewarming party. After seeing what a nomadic yurt looks like inside, many of them put aside their skepticism, and some even wanted to afford a similar house.
