Architecture and Design


Here is the FULL TIMELAPSE of Jake Mace and Nic Holistic Yurt Build in the Rain Forest of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. We are living on 8 acres off the grid in the great bear rain-forest.
This Yurt video shows us clearing the land, building the yurt platform, and building a 30' diameter yurt from Pacific Yurts. Hope you enjoy the full yurt build video!
