Now that our yurt plans are moving forward (we tried the 4'6“ spiral stairs; it might just fit), we're interested in what other people have done with them. Like in this 2002 Wired article:
Wired News: There's No Place Like Yurt:
Among the world's oldest indigenous structures, yurts are experiencing newfound popularity in the United States, where they're popping up as houses, offices, ski huts, art studios and even government buildings.
Yurt devotees range from aging hippies living off the grid to urban professionals needing space for a home office or guest room. Some are drawn to yurts by their interest in environmentally sustainable building practices. Others simply enjoy the pleasing aesthetics of a round room.
