Part
Yurt, Part Dome the Yome by Red Sky Shelters is
the Affordable Portable Living Shelter
One
step inside a Yome and youll feel like youre in another
world. Tall cathedral ceilings give the Yome an open and spacious feeling,
while translucent walls bathe you in a magical diffused light. Circular,
spiritual, portable living shelter: this is it.
From ancient principles to modern
technology, our ultra stable triangular support framework combines the
best of both yurts and domes. Like a yurt, the sides are nearly vertical,
maximizing the usable space within. Inside, the tallest people can stand
comfortably, even near the walls. The roof and walls are made of different
materials; one of heavy-duty coated fabric to shed rain, the other specially-treated
to be breathable, allowing excess moisture to escape. And both are fire,
water and mildew-resistant.
The dome part of a Yome is based
on the same principles pioneered by Buckminster Fuller in his famous
Geodesic Dome. No fence-like latticework covers the walls and windows,
as in a yurt. And the whole thing is portable, fitting easily into most
vehicles and can be set up or taken down by two or three people in a
matter of hours.
Yomes
come in three sizes, the six-sided HexaYome (150 sq.ft.), the
seven-sided SeptaYome (200 Sq.ft.) and the eight-sided OctaYome
(265 sq.ft.). The large full-panel triangular windows are complete
with screen, clear and fabric coverings. Optional stovepipe vents allow
for a woodstove or vented heater to be installed.
Every Yome is custom-built to your
specifications: all windows, doors, and vents are placed where you want
them. With our insulation package and
a woodstove or heater youll stay toasty warm-even in the middle
of Winter. All this for a fraction of the cost of other structures.
