Self-build

Beautiful, sustainable, custom-made.

Whether you're building a house, an extension, or a small garden cabin, WikiHouse is a modular, adaptable system that can help you do it well. You can develop a custom design, or adapt one of the readymade designs in our library.

High-performance fabric, ultra-low carbon footprint

With high levels of insulation, your new building will have superb energy performance by default. WikiHouse also uses regionally-grown, bio-based materials, so not only will it have a much lower embodied carbon footprint than most buildings – it will actually store more carbon than it emits. So your build project will actually be carbon negative.

One-size doesn't fit all

WikiHouse allows you to get all the benefits of digital design, offsite fabrication and fast, modular building, but still create a project that is custom-designed around you and your site.

Design the process around you

We have a growing network of manufacturers, engineers and design & build teams who can help you design and deliver your project. So you can choose the team you need, and if you want to do any of the work yourself.

1

Contact us

Get in touch to let us know a bit about you and your project. We can help you explore whether WikiHouse is a good fit for your project.

2

Assemble your team

If you don't already have a team, we will connect you with a design & build team where you are.

3

Design your project

Develop a scheme design and secure all required approvals. We can work with your design team to develop detailed chassis design and cutting files. This is the time to sweat every detail – then lock the design.

4

Manufacture blocks

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

5

Prepare site

Your build team will prepare the foundations and site services 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.
