Site Plan
Yurts with Connecting Structure
Layout and Functionality
The project features two 30′ diameter yurts from Secret Creek Colorado Yurts with an interconnecting structure. For ease of reference, I have given them the names Sage Meadow and Ether Ridge.
*Long-Term Goal – Both yurts operate independently, each equipped with amenities, connecting structure, 2-Car Garage.
*Short-Term Goal – One yurt completed to move-in status.
- Foundation: Article about yurt foundations here
- Insulation: This area is 5a climate zone (-20 to -15 degrees). Insulation, wind, and snow packages from Secret Creek.
- Heat and Water Management: Strategic placement of steam, heating, vents, and water systems. Designated mechanical room.
- Bathrooms: Each yurt will feature a full bathroom, with one designated as a master bath.
- Kitchens: A full kitchen will be included in one yurt, while the other will have a kitchenette/future hookups.
- Bedrooms: Each yurt will have a dedicated bedroom (to fit a Queen bed and closet).
- Offices: Each yurt will have a dedicated office/studio space.
- Loft Space: A loft with a slide is a possible addition. 220SF would fit a Queen bed.
- Access: Each yurt will have 2 doors (outside access/interior). The window location is flexible. Best views to the SW.
- *Might Remove* Interconnecting Structure: This will serve as a glass-fronted sunroom, lobby, and common area. It will have 4 doors, providing access to the outside, the garage, and each yurt.
- HVAC: Considering a Mini Split system, wood stove, and/or heated flooring.
