Tiny Eco-Friendly Roundhouses by Rotunda
These roundhouses were developed by the UK’s small house builder, Rotunda. Their size and form makes them perfect as a retreat or backyard studio. The designers were inspired by the structure of yurts and decided to develop the idea further and construct their own little circular dwellings with solid walls.
The company use’s locally sourced materials, supporting the UK’s supply chain without compromising on the quality or beauty of the spaces. Founder Gemma Roe says, ‘I just don’t think there are enough Roundhouses around nowadays. The rectilinear world is frustratingly dull and I just want to provide people with the opportunity to step into another environment for once to experience something a little magical’.
While rectilinear design is much more functional than a curved space, there is still something enchanting about cylindrical spaces and homes.

Are there Rotunda manufacturers in the USA? If so, where? Otherwise, how would someone from the USA order one of these lovely home designs? Do you have blueprints I can purchase? Thanks!

Hi Marcia – I’m not aware of any Rotunda manufacturers based in the US, but you can get in touch with them to find out: http://rotunda-living.co.uk/contact/ You never know they might make the blueprints available!
