title: 'Sunny Brae Yurt'
description: 'Yurt. Humboldt County is rainy in the winter and spring, so designing to withstand weather has been a front-and-center challenge. In the Fall of 2006 Russell Kramer began a project to build and live in a yurt in a neighborhood known as Sunny Brae of Arcata, CA. Low materials usage, low cost, excellent feng shui, and outer space withstand-ability were primary goals. Humboldt County is rainy in the winter and spring, so designing to withstand weather has been a front-and-center challenge. Aaron Antrim also lent an occasional hand in this project, mainly as an editor and wikitext consultant for this Appropedia article.'
