Sustainable design.

A clever little house with big ambitions.

A one-of-a-kind holiday home, guest house, or office space – Wikkelhouse is whatever you want it to be. With its friendly design and premium finishing, Wikkelhouse wraps you in comfort. Made exclusively of sustainable materials, Wikkelhouse is on its way to becoming a 100% biodegradable home, built to live in happily ever after.

Modular magic.

A Wikkelhouse consists of 1.2-meter-deep segments that can easily be connected and disconnected. The modular setup makes the house as flexible as a Lego house. Add extra segments for extra meters. Create your own floor plan, change it later. Truly anything goes.

Coffee anyone?

Would you like a kitchen in your Wikkelhouse? A bathroom? A shower? Include our smart Home-segment to your Wikkelhouse layout and you’re set for life.

Very wood.

Wood looks amazing and is as sustainable as you can get. That’s why over 60% of your Wikkelhouse is made of wood. We only use renewable materials, work hard to lower our carbon emissions and continuously look for new ways to work even more sustainable.

Flex that flax.

Flax is one of the oldest sustainable fibers. You can use it to make linen, firehoses – and Wikkelhouses. We use it as an insulator. Flax keeps the noise out and makes sure your Wikkelhouse stays nice and warm.

Wrapped in cardboard.

We wrap Wikkelhouses in cardboard, or ‘wikkelen’, as we say in Dutch. Cardboard isolates and gives your house exceptional constructive strength. As you know, cardboard is made of wood. But did you know it’s also a super sustainable building material? Cardboard yields four times as much material from one tree than if you only used wood. So by using cardboard, we get the most out of each tree.

Bear.

Everything you need, in only 25 square meter. That’s our Bear: a compact 4-person Wikkelhouse, furnished with Wikkelstore and Weltevree furniture. With its small basic kitchen, customized Murphy bed and double bed on top there’s enough space for all of you. And if your friend wants to crash after that cosy night, she can sleep on our Flipper: couch and bed in one.

Solar power.

Cover your Wikkelroof with solar panels and let nature do the rest. These solar panels will light up your house, heat up your stove and keep the ventilation system going. Bringing you one step closer to energy-neutral living.

Ultra-light.

Each segment weighs only slightly more than 600 kilos. That’s why Wikkelhouse can be placed anywhere without foundation. From the seaside to your rooftop, every spot can be a Wikkelhouse spot. A change of scenery? No problem, let’s go!

Placed in a day.

Your Wikkelhouse is built in our Amsterdam workshop. We transport the segments to the location of your choice and connect them on the spot. Within a day, your Wikkelhouse is ready for action.
