Insulated Glass Wall Yurts
with Doors, Windows and Wide Views
Our Glass Wall yurts are insulated, handcrafted yurts with natural chestnut frames and fitted glass wall panels. They bring more light into the interior, open up wider views and create a stronger connection with the surrounding landscape.
They are used as homes, studios, retreats, guest accommodation, glamping units, garden rooms and other year-round spaces across the UK and Europe.
“I cannot recommend the Yurt Workshop, Rob and Ratna more highly. The yurts are absolutely stunning. They are not only visually beautiful but also extremely well made. The canvas colour is very stylish and the Moorish doors and windows give the whole yurt such a unique look.” Shana, UK
The Original Glass Wall Yurt
Yurt Workshop introduced the Glass Wall Yurt in 2013. It was designed for people who wanted the character of a canvas yurt, but with more natural light, proper views and a stronger connection with the surrounding landscape.
A Glass Wall yurt remains a genuine handcrafted yurt, with a natural chestnut frame, natural wool felt insulation, canvas covers and traditional proportions.
The difference is the fitted glass frontage, which can include glass doors, fixed glass panels and opening windows.
Since introducing the design, we have continued refining the structure, panel layouts, doors, windows and detailing through years of practical use.
Light, Views and Insulated Comfort
A Glass Wall yurt brings more daylight into the interior, opens up views and gives the yurt a stronger architectural presence.
We have made Glass Wall yurts for customers in the UK, Greece, Spain, Portugal, France and Israel. They are used as yoga studios, homes, classrooms, meditation spaces, offices, retreat rooms and guest accommodation.
Glass Wall yurts are also well suited to schools, nurseries and education spaces where natural light, views and a warm atmosphere are important.

Popular Glass Wall Yurt Designs
Our modular Glass Wall system allows a range of layouts, from a single glass door and fixed panel to a broad frontage with double glass doors.
These four arrangements show the main starting points. The precise layout can be adapted to the yurt size, the view and the way the interior will be used.
Glass Wall Design 1
An all-glass door with one fixed glass panel. This is the simplest Glass Wall layout and brings more light into the yurt without creating a large frontage.
Glass Wall Design 2
A glass door, fixed glass panel and opening window panel. This adds ventilation while keeping the frontage relatively compact.
Glass Wall Design 3
A wider glass frontage with the door positioned between glass panels. This gives the entrance a more open and balanced appearance.
Glass Wall Design 4
Double glass doors within a broad glass frontage. This creates the widest opening and the strongest connection between the yurt and the space outside.
Design Your Own Glass Wall Yurt
Glass doors, windows and wall panels can be arranged to suit a particular view, entrance or use of the space.
The system is made from interlocking wooden panels. Standard panels are approximately 100 cm wide, while double-door and larger window sections are around 170 cm wide.
Door panels, fixed glass panels, opening windows and wooden panels can be combined to balance light, ventilation, privacy and access.
Insulation and Weather Protection
Glass Wall yurts are supplied as insulated yurts. They include a fire-retardant inner liner, natural wool felt insulation and our double-canvas roof system.
The additional inner roof canvas sits beneath the outer roof cover, providing another protective layer above the insulation.
This makes the Glass Wall specification suitable for regular use in changing European climates, including colder, wetter and more exposed locations.
Ask for a Glass Wall Yurt Estimate
Once you have an idea of the yurt size and Glass Wall layout, draw a simple circle, mark the position of the door and window panels and send it to us.
We can then prepare an estimate based on the size, panel arrangement, delivery location and other options you need.
If you are unsure about the best arrangement, tell us about the setting, the main views and how the yurt will be used. We can help you work through the layout.
