California Round Houses: Custom Yurt Builder in Ukiah, CA
California Round Houses is a dedicated yurt construction company based in Ukiah, CA, building custom round structures for property owners throughout Mendocino County, Sonoma County, and the greater San Francisco Bay Area. From single-room studio yurts to fully developed yurt round houses, we design and construct every project with the specific terrain, climate, and lifestyle needs of Northern California in mind.
Round structures offer something a conventional home or addition often can't: an efficient, distinctive living space that works with the land rather than against it. Whether you're building on a wooded hillside outside Ukiah, a vineyard property in Sonoma County, or a rural parcel near Santa Rosa, our team brings the structural engineering, material expertise, and permitting knowledge needed to turn a yurt concept into a finished, livable structure. We work directly with each client from initial design through final construction, so every yurt we build reflects the property it sits on and the way it will actually be used.
Our approach is straightforward: understand the site, understand how the space will function, and build a round structure that performs well for decades. That philosophy applies whether we're constructing a simple guest yurt, a full-time yurt home, or a large-scale yurt round house designed as a primary residence.

Our Yurt Building Services
Building Throughout Northern California
While our work is based in Ukiah, we regularly build yurts, yurt homes, and yurt round houses for clients throughout Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, the San Francisco Bay Area, and the wider Mendocino County region. Each area presents different site conditions, from coastal wind exposure near the Bay Area to hillside terrain common throughout Mendocino County, and our design process accounts for these differences on every project. No matter where in Northern California your property is located, our team coordinates site assessment, structural engineering, and construction logistics so the process stays clear and manageable from the first consultation to the final walkthrough.

Why Property Owners Work With California Round Houses
Yurt construction involves specialized structural knowledge that differs from conventional home building, including lattice and compression ring engineering, round-structure permitting, and material behavior specific to circular design. Our team brings this expertise to every yurt, yurt home, solid wall yurt, sustainable yurt, and yurt round house we build, so clients get a structure that's engineered correctly the first time. We also handle the coordination that comes with a specialized build, managing design, permitting, material sourcing, and construction under one roof rather than requiring clients to piece together multiple contractors.
Every project starts with a conversation about your property, your goals, and how the finished structure will be used day to day. From there, we build a plan specific to your site, whether that means a simple guest yurt on a wooded lot outside Ukiah or a full-scale yurt round house designed as a primary residence in Sonoma County.

“People are very much affected by these structures, whether they are modern Americans or an indigenous person on the steppes of Central Asia. There’s the primordial and spiritual and community appeal of living in a round structure, with its connection to our ancient roots. There’s also the quality of the space itself. With its embracing walls and its open-at-the-top architecture, it is both a protective and soothing space and a symbol of the metaphysical quality of being open and receptive to what life has to bring you. The yurt has a very positive impact on the people who come into contact with it”
