How to build it
Paper models

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.
