Inside a Luxury Yurt in the Running for “Shed of the Year”
Meet Jack Fetherstonhaugh, a 31-year-old artist who’s taken creativity to new heights by combining a shed and a luxury yurt. While facing major surgeries, including a double hip replacement and kidney transplant, Jack designed and built a one-of-a-kind yurt structure attached to his shed.
