Yurt builders Nathan and Jenny Toler are headed deep into the jungles of Maui, Hawaii, to build their biggest yurt yet. It's a giant two-story, 30-foot, hydro-powered yurt for their off-the-grid clients Christina and Boe. Getting materials to the remote build site proves to be a logistical nightmare, not to mention the monstrous yurt is being built on a steep hillside. And if things couldn't get worse, a tropical storm threatens to ruin everything. Watch what happens when the storm clouds pass and the clients return for an awe-inspiring reveal.
Tree Lovin' Yurts
Nathan and Jenny are challenged with building a completely unique, tree-themed yurt. The Beschens decide on a large, 30-foot yurt and request other yurt firsts such as a private, walled-off master bedroom and the largest dormer they've ever built!
Yurt in Paradise
Nathan and Jenny use a rare wood only found in Hawaii to build a yurt on a farm for clients determined to live completely of the grid. Their clients' goal is to never have to go to the grocery store by living solely off their farm and catching the occasional fish.
Yurt on the Edge
Nathan and Jenny build their biggest kitchen yet for a young couple who has chosen a yurt to be their first home. But, their land is on a steep hill and that causes some big design challenges.
Oahu Living on a Tiny Budget
Nathan and Jenny are challenged with building a completely unique yurt on Oahu, HI, with creative touches on an artistic couple's tiny budget. The couple has some fantastic land and the excitement of having their own home is mounting. Nathan and Jenny make the couple's dreams come true with fabulous modular furniture, one-of-a-kind countertops and a gallery wall to display their works.
Totally Modular Yurt
A young couple gets creative designing a yurt with modular features. They pull out all the stops to give each piece its own unique design, using everything from beach glass and colored epoxy to a mattress and a turkey carver.
A Yurt in the Rainforest
A hula instructor and drum maker are looking to build a yurt on their Oahu property. Rain and mud slows the build down, and Nathan and Jenny fight against the clock and the elements to complete the yurt on time.
Ranch Yurt
Jenny and Nathan head to Waimanalo, Oahu, to build a country-themed yurt on a horse ranch for a couple moving out of their apartment. They struggle with new firsts including building curved interior walls and molding galvanized aluminum to their kitchen countertops. Will this ranch yurt meet the couple's needs?
Pop the Top
With their growing family getting bigger by the day, Nathan and Jenny decide it's time to grow their yurt with them. They may have bitten off more than they can chew, however, with only five days to complete their project.
Nathan's Dream Yurt
Nathan and Jenny design the ultimate man cave for a musician and his friend. They go all out, giving the yurt indoor skate ramps, a refurbished pool table and a stage complete with drums and guitars.
A Jewel of a Yurt
Nathan and Jenny design a new home for a jewelry maker and her son. The team will have to pull an all nighter to complete the yurt on time after fierce rains and a mismeasurement put the build far behind schedule.
A Nautical Yurt
A couple with a love for the ocean is looking for a yurt, and Nathan and Jenny are up to the task. The build schedule is put at risk, however, when Jenny loses her voice and rain pours in while the yurt goes up.
Two Yurts and a Gazebo
Nathan and Jenny work with a couple who want a 30-foot yurt with a loft, a gazebo and a smaller yurt bathroom. The huge project is on a tight, one-week deadline and an even tighter $60,000 budget.
Home Sweet Yurt
Yurt builders Nathan and Jenny Toler live in a village of yurts on the North Shore of Oahu but their family is growing, so they're adding on and building a whopping 1,400-square-foot yurt at the far end of their property. For this large-scale build, they're pulling out all the stops, creating an octagonal shaped kitchen made of native Kamani nut, funky stairs and a curvy media room. With just six weeks to finish this yurt before the rainy season begins, they scramble to give it a total wow factor.
Namaste Yurt
Yurt Builders Nathan and Jenny Toler meet up with clients Sara and Shawn who want to expand their current home in Haleiwa, Hawaii, to include a multi-functional 16-foot yurt that will serve as a yoga studio and lounge space for the couple and their two daughters. It is smooth sailing back at the Tolers' workshop as they begin sewing fabric walls and building out a tiny kitchen, but when it comes time to assemble the yurt at the build site, they're hit with massive downpours and construction mishaps. Watch as they overcome all obstacles to create a unique and zen space the whole family can enjoy.
Waterside Yurt
Yurt Builders Nathan and Jenny Toler are headed to Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, to build a Moroccan-style yurt for client Maisa who wants an affordable place that's all her own on her family's waterfront property. Inspired by their client's love of the ocean, Nathan and Jenny are determined to incorporate water into the design. But things don't go exactly as they planned. Watch how they redirect and redesign this stylish yurt to be everything Maisa could have hoped for and more.
Windy Yurt
Ryan and Ali are relocating to a beautiful lot on Hawaii's North Shore that they bought unseen on the internet. They've asked yurt builders Nathan and Jenny Toler to construct a safari-themed yurt with office and living space on the main floor and a half loft for two on the second level. Nathan and Jenny have their work cut out for them on this build as they are forced to battle incredibly high winds on top of this picturesque hilltop overlooking Turtle Bay. Watch as they create an incredible yurt with a view and stick around for a surprise ending.
Our First Yurt
Newlyweds Cheyenne and Austin are calling on yurt builders Nathan and Jenny Toler to build "their first place," a paniolo-inspired 16-foot yurt with a bedroom, bathroom and outdoor dining space on a picturesque piece of family farmland in Waimanalo, Oahu. Unique to this build are the specially engineered window frames Nathan must design to keep out Vog, or volcanic air pollution, that Austin is severely allergic to. Complete with romantic western touches and a custom farmhouse table as a wedding gift to the couple, this truly is a Love Yurt.
