Inventors, family, variations
- http://hexayurt.com
- Vinay Gupta invented the basic shape for regular hexayurts and a number of variations, and placed it in the Public Domain. This allows others to develop the original idea further. Known developments are here, also in the Public Domain.
- Scott Davis and Dylan Toymaker invented the H13, which solves one of the oldest quirks of the hexayurt design – how do you get a full height door way? Scott took a creative leap, switched around a couple of triangles, and came up with a design which for just one additional sheet of plywood gets you a structure with a full 8′ entry-way, much more interior walkable space (see below), and (subjectively) a much better over-all aesthetic. It's here. Vinay regards it "a fantastic piece of work", and "suspect(s) it will become a very common hexayurt in years to come"

How to build it
http://ohyah.ca/category/projects/hexayurt/
They can be built in "threes", like 1/16 of http://dylantoymaker.net/toybox/2010/10/20/hexayurt/ and in "nines".
Paper models
- spreadsheet by LucasG

Standing room
Regular hexayurts are built with 12 panels: one for each of the 6 walls, and one (cut through the diagonal to make triangles) for each of the parts of the roof. If the panels are 4' x 8', then the roofs go from 4' to XXX. Height of human adults is between 5' and 6', so standing room is XXX% of the floor.
The H13 uses 13 panels, and standing room is increased http://twitpic.com/3t4dwn
H14, which uses 14 panels, has even more standing room.
