The layout of the yurt offers the spaces for bedrooms and workplaces with computers for 2 people around the perimeter, and toilet and kitchen equipment area in the center.
For more efficient use of internal areas, the project design makes provision for transformable furniture – bed and chairs.
The outer side of the panel segments is covered with a flexible polymer film with organic semiconductors 100 nm thick. 1 m2 of electric polymer film generates 1 kW/hour. The project design provides for additional alternative source of electricity supply in the form of a film with an area of 5.3 m2 in telescopic elements, which results in additional electricity generation of 5.3 kW. The generated electricity is accumulated in the batteries with further use to power household appliances.
The authors of the project, using the centuries-old experience of nomads, offer a transformable dwelling with an area of 25 m2 of telescopic volumetric elements for steppe areas (latitude from 35° to 45°). Eco-friendly glued plywood with a heat-protective layer of basalt fiber is used as wall segments. The installed segments resemble the image of a yurt. The telescopic segments are extended and shifted, forming a closed (in cold weather) or open (in warm weather) living space. Thus, by transforming the telescopic segments, the dwelling acquires the possibility of merging with the exterior. In order to minimize the impact on the ecological environment, the project provides for an autonomous biological installation for cleaning all household wastewater, including from kitchen equipment and toilets.
A container with a biological purification unit is placed under the toilet and provides wastewater treatment of 0.5 m3/day.
The supply of drinking water is provided from the well by submerged pump.
The shower and toilet sewage drains are diverted into the storage tank with subsequent pumping by special-purpose cleaning machines. Foldable microdome structures can be transported by light motor vehicles with further installation, which does not require a special skill.
