Concentric Yurt

This yurt was built at the Owen Farm in Southern New Hampshire to be used as a workshop space.  It will house yoga camp, farm camp, soap making workshops, and homeschool group to name a few.  The main structure was assembled during a two-week intensive workshop with mostly a volunteer crew.
