designed for purposes of easy transport fitting with a nomadic lifestyle, scottish studios trakke and uula jero have teamed up to develop the ‘jero’ flat pack yurt. while measuring four meters wide upon assembly, the construction stows down to a 1.2 x 0.8 x 0.5 meter space. the structure is comprised of marine-grade plywood walls and radially organized wood roof poles. the latter support a waterproof canvas skin, while allowing for a skylight at the cabin’s center.

plywood panels link together to create a circular enclosure

the making of pieces employs digital and analog fabrication techniques, while the yurt’s assembly requires no tool usage. tensioning straps run around the perimeter of the cabin to stiffen its structure, while polyester ropes fasten the canvas to the wall panels’ base.
