Big Sur Glass Yurt - 1976

With an increasing trend towards tiny houses, smaller scales, and more sustainable living, it is interesting to look back at the designs which where forerunners in these fields. In the 1970's Mickey Muennig built a brick, wood and glass yurt in Big Sur. This structure features a round floor plan favoured by our ancestors, which through its simplicity remains timeless.
