RE: This Oriental Temple on Wheels Stole My Heart (MANDALA ECO HOMES)
They are all beautiful...all those decks! But the Deluxe Yurt is especially dreamy and my favorite one...anywhere around $150K or even $200K still seems economical and not too expensive for any one of those complete treasures! I admire how they look culturally traditional...but not like traditional tiny houses. <3
I know, I want one so badly!
Most of the tiny houses I see are built on a budget, they just do not even come anywhere close to the detail and beauty that is offered with these Balinese style homes.
I love the Yurt as well, all that natural sunlight.
Ideally in the future, I'd love to have one of the bigger ones.
I'm curious about the price for every style, I may email them just to find that information out. I will write another post once I know more.
They have really stolen my heart too! The only problem with the yurt in my climate is the rain and snow...and the roof is fabric! I suppose that's why they are made for a tropical climate. Glass skylights would be a great alternative...and both listening and looking up at the rain would be very calming. These tiny houses really strike me as extra special because they aren't just modern industrial shelters that sacrifice beauty for functionality...one of the things that I always hate about modern architecture. Pretty much all of the other designs have actual roofs and one even looks slightly alpine...so they might be versatile for any climate. I can't imagine they take orders internationally so even the blueprints and proper local craftsmanship would be a dream come true. The wheels are spinning...and I can see a multi roomed yurt design that curves like a honeycomb and has a courtyard inside. Talk about my dream home! There is actually a Mandala Homes company nearby...like an hour away and they specialize in small circular structures with reclaimed materials...but their designs pale in comparison...maybe I should email them the gallery links...hahaha.
Where I lived it actually snowed today. Hopefully won’t be living here for much longer, been here for 25 years.
Glass skylights sound like a great idea. Their website says they are available for custom creations as well. So possibly you could have something to suite your exact needs.
Where would you live...if you could live absolutely anywhere right now? And custom creations of this variety do seem like a necessity for a company like this to thrive. I would want my interconnected honeycomb yurts to go somewhere with sun all year round...and of course no snow! <3
That is somewhat of a hard question for me to answer considering I haven't had the chance to travel very much.
I would say, somewhere tropical, outside of the United States. Preferably Asia, although I would be VERY far from home.
Maybe Thailand? If not that far, the Caribbean.
Awesome...tropical is definitely ace! <3
