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.

All-Round Workshop Hero (32–40 hours per week)
Location: Amsterdam Noord

About Wikkelhouse

Wikkelhouse is a colorful team of over 20 people from all around the world, with our own workshop in Amsterdam. We’re a young and enthusiastic crew, passionate about creating a beautiful and sustainable product. Every year, around 40 Wikkelhouses find a new home somewhere in Europe. We do everything ourselves: from design and carpentry to transport and on-site installation. That requires a workshop that runs like a well-oiled machine!

Your Role

You make sure the construction team is always well-prepared to hit the road. You load the Wikkelhouse components onto our trailer, drive them to the building site, and help unload everything on location. Our vehicle fleet braves forests, mountains, and the autobahn, so you’ll regularly check if any maintenance is needed.

Your colleagues can also count on you in the workshop. You receive daily deliveries, help out with all kinds of tasks, and jump in wherever needed. Is a part missing on-site, is something broken, or is a supply running low? You’ll work closely with the workshop manager to keep everything running smoothly.

What You Bring

You speak Dutch (English is a plus)
You’re handy and know how to use a power drill
You can drive a forklift
You have a BE driving license
You have experience with loading and unloading

What We Offer

4 or 5 working days per week, in Amsterdam Noord
Salary to be discussed, depending on your responsibilities
A great working atmosphere with fun colleagues in a creative company
A delicious daily lunch prepared by our in-house chef
Room to grow – even sideways! For example, spending one day a week learning carpentry is totally possible
