ONLY FROM THE YURT WORKSHOP
Glass Wall Yurts
Insulated Glass Wall Yurts
with Doors, Windows and Wide Views
Our Glass Wall yurts are insulated, handcrafted yurts with natural chestnut frame sections and fitted glass panels, designed to bring more light, wider views and a stronger connection with the surrounding landscape.
They are popular as homes, studios, retreats, glamping spaces, garden rooms and year-round living 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.”

The Original Glass Wall Yurt
The Glass Wall Yurt was first introduced by Yurt Workshop in 2013. It was designed for people who wanted the beauty of a canvas yurt, but with more natural light, proper views and a stronger connection to the surrounding landscape.
A Glass Wall yurt is still a real handcrafted yurt, with a strong natural chestnut frame, wool insulation, canvas covers and traditional proportions. The difference is the glass frontage: glass doors, glass panels and opening windows can be added to create a brighter, more open space.
Our design has since inspired many imitators, but none can match the quality, style and experience of the original Yurt Workshop Glass Wall Yurt.
Luxury Yurts with Light,
Views and Presence
For those seeking luxury, we have redefined what that means in the world of yurts. A Glass Wall Yurt brings more light into the space, gives wider views from inside, and creates a stronger architectural connection between the yurt and its setting.
Since creating the original, we have crafted many Glass Wall yurts for customers in the UK, Greece, Spain, Portugal, France and Israel. They have been used as yoga studios, homes, classrooms, meditation spaces, offices, retreat spaces and guest accommodation.
Glass Wall yurts are also well suited to schools, nurseries and education spaces where natural light, views and a warmer atmosphere are important. You can read more about our school yurts.
After 11 years of daily use, one customer told us:
“I would not change a thing. It is perfect.”

Popular Glass Wall Yurt Designs
Our modular glass wall system allows for a wide range of designs, from a single glass door and window panel to a much larger glass frontage. These are some of the most popular Glass Wall yurt layouts.
Glass Wall Design 1
The simplest Glass Wall Yurt layout combines an all-glass door with one fixed glass panel. It brings more natural light into the yurt while keeping the design simple, balanced and easy to use.
Glass Wall Design 2
This popular layout combines a glass door, a fixed glass panel and an opening window panel in the same glass wall section. It brings in plenty of light while giving you ventilation without making the frontage too large.
Glass Wall Design 3
This layout creates a wider glass wall, with the glass door set between glass panels. It gives the yurt a more open frontage, bringing in more light and making the entrance feel generous and balanced.
Glass Wall Design 4
This is the widest standard Glass Wall Yurt layout, with double glass doors set within a broad glass frontage. It creates a very open, light-filled yurt, with generous access to the outside and wide views from inside the space.
Design Your Own Glass Wall Yurt
Many customers choose a bespoke Glass Wall Yurt because they want the glass doors, windows and wall panels arranged around a particular view, entrance or use of the space.
We can help you work out a design that suits the size of your yurt, the position of the entrance, the amount of glass you want, and how the yurt will be used.
To help you design your own Glass Wall Yurt, the glass walls are made from interlocking panels. Each panel is approximately 100 cm wide, or around 170 cm for double doors and window sections.
These panels can be arranged in different combinations, so the glass frontage can be adapted to the view, the entrance and the way you want to use the yurt.
There are four main types of panel: door panels, full-height glass panels, opening glass panels for extra ventilation, and wooden panels where you want more privacy, shade or a more enclosed feel.
Ask for a Glass Wall Yurt Estimate
Once you have an idea of the size and design you would like, simply draw a circle, mark the position of the door and window panels you prefer, and send it to us. We will then prepare an estimate for you.
If you have any questions, or would like help thinking through the design of your Glass Wall yurt, please get in touch.
