The hexayurt has progressed from its brilliant beginnings in the hands of Vinay Gupta. This design was initially a solution for third world countries and burning man participants. The Factor E Farm group decided last fall to attempt a plywood build and after looking at the cost implications of that build I began work on redesigning the original construction design into a semi-permanent cabin style hexayurt.

The following links will provide you with background and development history and pictures.
