Mobility during the summer can be important. You may need to take that
certain someone to a cabin for a month by the dunes. These portable summer
cabins let you experience the outdoors in a comfortable, modern interior.
They have large windows and an acrylic dome skylight that allows plenty of
light inside.
The cabins, made by Pacific
Yurts, have minimal impact on the surrounding soils and, though durable,
can be removed without a trace. The architecture is a modern adaptation
of the ancient shelter used by Central Asian nomads.
The cost ranges from $4000-10000, depending on the options you choose. For
heating in colder seasons, add a stove and insulated walls. Hook it up with
a renewable energy system and the scene is complete.

Is my design for a portable building along these lines. It’s called a hexayurt, and is made from standard 4×8 sheet goods.
I’ve been looking at yurts, but all the major kit makers seem to use a lot of PVC. Are there any alternatives?
Yes, I have the same problem with yurt and dome manufacturers. I’m sure there is someone out there who doesn’t make use of a lot of PVC.
