A Little Bit of History

The Yurt is a type of housing more than 6000 years old used by Nomadic tribes that inhabited Central Asia. Legend has it that the great warrior Genghis Khan was traveling in his yurt on a wheeled cart pulled by oxen.

Traditional Yurts

Today in Mongolia, yurts are the type of housing most used by semi-nomadic farmers. These farmers use yurts to move with agility with their cattle and transport them with their horses. Nowadays, traditional yurts are made with elements that come from animals such as horsehair or horse tendons.

Modern Yurts

Modern yurts are the Western adaptation of this type of removable construction that has proven to be very versatile both for its ease of assembly and for its structural strength and use of space. Nowadays, modern yurts replace many perishable materials from traditional yurts with more durable ones and change the design system for greater robustness and adaptation to all types of climates.

Traditional VS Modern Yurts

Celtic Pallozas

Pallozas were a type of pre-Roman construction used by sedentary Celtic military tribes during the Ancient Age in the Northwest of the peninsula. Its circular shape and distribution were perfect for the area's year-round climate.

Celtic Yurts

In the search for the perfect home for these new times of semi-nomadic life and sustainability, we found the perfect fusion between Mongolian tradition and Celtic history to create Celtic yurts.
