About Smiling Woods & Customizable Yurt Living

Are you an architect or designer looking to integrate round forms into your projects? Want the look of an old grain silo without the challenges of insulating and framing one? A circular reading room or library? Our panelized, yurt-inspired round home kits come in 5 standard sizes from 300 to 1200+ square feet, and are ready to be customized to your specifications. Let us know wall heights, siding choices, and window and door placement, and we can build the perfect round home kit -- whether as a cabin or single-family home, or an extension of a larger compound. Our design and engineering teams are ready to assist in bringing your round designs to life. With hundred of units on the ground, we are one of the foremost experts in round home design, engineering, and construction.

Are you a general contractor or framer already well-versed in assembling round homes, or ready to put up your first? We are always looking for qualified general contractors and framers around the United States and Canada who can help our clients bring their round home dreams to life. With a boom truck (or even just a reach forklift) and nimble crew, you can have a dried-in shell ready to start interior utilities and finish work in just a few days. While you get the hang of assembling our kits, our field staff and design consultants are always a phone call away (or are available to travel to sites).

For hospitality, school, affordable housing, and cabin / second home developers looking to reduce build timelines and offer unique accommodations (whether for meeting spaces, yoga studios, classrooms, retreat centers, short-term rentals, glamping, backcountry huts / yurts, cabins, or single family homes), Smiling Woods Yurts offer a variety of sizes to fit any space. Our yurts can be found at resorts and inns, boutique yurt B&Bs, campgrounds, ranches, schools (Waldorf, Montessori, and similar), retreat centers, wedding venues, and housing developments across the US. We are familiar with working with outside design and engineering teams, lending our expertise in round building design and engineering as needed. For large orders or unique government funding situations, we can provide flexibility to make sure you have the yurts you need on terms that make sense for all parties involved.
