YURTS AS BEAUTIFUL AND FUNCTIONAL AS A YURT SHOULD BE
Yurt Specialist Rob Matthews outside his own yurt
Rob and Ratna Matthews began making yurts in 2005, after training in Somerset with Paul King of Woodland Yurts. That early training gave them a solid grounding in traditional yurt making, and Rob later travelled to Central Asia to deepen that knowledge and continue refining the craft. Since then, Yurt Workshop has kept improving its designs, materials and construction methods year by year.
We build high-quality handcrafted yurts designed for life in the UK and Europe. Our aim has always been straightforward: to make yurts that are beautiful, durable and practical, combining the strengths of traditional yurt design with carefully chosen modern materials.
Much of what makes our yurts distinctive comes from the fact that we make them properly. In our own workshop we build the yurt framework itself, including the oak crowns that have become a recognised part of our work. This gives us close control over quality, detail and finish throughout.
Over the years we have built hundreds of yurts and supplied them to customers across the UK, France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Spain, the USA, Australia and beyond. That experience matters. It means our designs have been tested in real conditions, in many different climates, by many different customers.
From the beginning, we were not interested in producing ordinary yurts or imitations of traditional forms. We wanted to build something better: authentic yurts with stronger detailing, better weather performance, and a standard of finish that would stand out. That commitment led to features and developments we are now well known for, including our Glass Wall yurts and our double-skin roof system.
What matters most to us is not novelty for its own sake, but getting the fundamentals right: sound structure, good proportions, quality materials, and careful workmanship. The result is a yurt that looks right, feels right, and works properly.
In fact, the Yurt Workshop is the only workshop in UK & Europe making hand crafted authentic yurts we know of. As a result the Yurt Workshop remains unique in offering high quality authentic designs made for the UK & European climate.
