Precision manufactured

Blocks are digitally fabricated to 0.1 millimetre precision, so they fit together perfectly on site to create a straight, accurate structure.

Highly insulated

WikiHouse Skylark 250 blocks have a U value of 0.14 W/m²K, so your building will be ultra-low energy by default. If you want to add even more insulation, you can. You can also build to ultra high levels of airtightness.

Strong and lightweight

The WikiHouse chassis weighs much less than a typical building – making it easy to ship and assemble – but it is extremely strong. A typical wall block weighs just 39kg, but can support 13 tons of load. That's the weight of three elephants. Although we don't recommend you try this, because the elephants don't like it.

Durable

The material used to make WikiHouse blocks has a certified life of 60 years, but provided it is kept dry and protected, it will last much longer –even hundreds of years.

Circular

WikiHouse buildings can be disassembled instead of demolished, and almost all the components and materials either re-used or recycled at the end of their life.

Net carbon negative

A typical new brick home emits around 300-500kgCO₂e/m² of carbon in its construction. The same house built using WikiHouse typically emits just 100kgCO₂e/m². In fact, the blocks actually store significantly more atmospheric carbon than they emit in production. So your build project will actually be net carbon negative. Typically around -350kgCO₂e/m².

Interoperable

WikiHouse can be used with almost any type of foundation, cladding, insulation, windows or lining materials – so you have control over your design.

Adaptable

Standardised blocks can be used to make an infinite variety of custom designs. We can also create custom blocks for your project.

Fast

A weathertight WikiHouse structure can be assembled on-site in days, or sometimes hours, even by a team with no traditional construction skills.
