Architects

The future of construction, by everyone, for everyone.

WikiHouse is a modular, circular, zero-carbon building system that has been collaboratively developed by architects and engineers all over the world. It's yours to use.

Create buildings that store more carbon than they emit

As well as creating buildings with superb fabric energy performance, WikiHouse also helps radically reduce embodied (or 'upfront') carbon emissions which account for around 10-11% of global emissions.

By using regionally-grown, bio-based materials, a typical WikiHouse project emits 20% of the carbon of a brick build. Better still, the wood actually stores atmospheric carbon, so your project will actually be net carbon negative.

Design (almost) anything

WikiHouse uses entirely dry construction processes to create a dimensionally-accurate timber chassis that is robust and easy to work with. The 18mm structural material can accept fixings almost anywhere, allowing it to support almost any type of cladding, roofing or windows. It can also fit onto any foundation type.

More design control

With manufactured modular components you get more precision, more transparency and more control over costs and design. What you see on the screen is what you get on site.

Full chassis design service

We can work with you to develop a detailed 3D model of your chassis, along with manufacturing files, cutting list and simple assembly manuals. We can also work with your structural engineer so they can sign-off the project.

1

Contact us

Get in touch to tell us a bit about your project. We'll be able help you explore good fit and estimate likely costs, as well as answering any questions you have.

2

Assemble your team

Work with your client to decide how the project will be delivered and the team you need. We may be able to connect you with engineers, manufacturers and installers if you need them.

3

Design and accurately cost your scheme

We can work with you to develop a 3D chassis design, detailed bill of materials, cutting files and assembly manuals. You can then build this into your full design, detailing and specification.

4

Manufacture blocks

A local WikiHouse manufacturer will cut and assemble the blocks, ready to ship to site on your required date.

5

Prepare site

Foundations and site services must be prepared first, ready to receive the WikiHouse chassis.

6

Install

The WikiHouse chassis can be rapidly assembled on site by you or your build team in days. Then the windows, cladding and internal fit-out can be added, fast or slow.
