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.

WIKKELHOUSE IS LOOKING FOR A LOCATION CAPTAIN with a smooth talk and fingerspitzengefühl (m/f/x)

Who wouldn’t want this: alternating between working behind a computer screen and enjoying the fresh outdoor air, all while contributing to something beautiful, sustainable, and innovative?

We, the creators of the iconic modular and future-proof Wikkelhouses, are searching for a new all-rounder to help manage planning, placement, and communication.

Your responsibilities:

Communication: You are the link between the location/maintenance team and the proud homeowners.
Planning and preparation: You coordinate the placement of Wikkelhouses, which we produce in Amsterdam and Friesland.
On-site leader: You ensure smooth execution of house placements and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves.
Aftersales: You act as the first point of contact for existing customers with their questions or issues.
Administration: You prepare invoices, keep administrative tasks in order, and occasionally assist with drafting quotes at the front end.

What we’re looking for:

You have experience with, an affinity for, and knowledge of timber construction and its maintenance.
You are well-organized, administratively strong, and detail-oriented.
You are communicative, approachable, and capable of setting boundaries and providing clarity to both customers and the team.
You enjoy being on the road frequently.
You like working in a team but are also capable of operating independently.
A BE driver’s license is a plus.
You are available full-time.

What we offer:

A beautiful workshop in an inspiring part of Amsterdam (where you’re also welcome to work on personal projects in your free time).
Well-arranged secondary benefits and a vibrant team of colleagues.
A salary aligned with the role and based on experience.
