Kazakhstan's yurts: From nomadic shelters to modern eco-living innovations

Kazakhstan's yurts, symbols of nomadic heritage, are being redefined for modern living.

Architect Ravil Nurgissa incorporates solar power and transformable floor plans into his award-winning designs.

In Almaty’s Huns Ethno Village, yurts host glamping stays, while exhibitions like “She Rug” celebrate their intricate decor.

Traditionally made of felt and wood, these structures remain a link between Kazakhstan's nomadic past and its sustainable future.
