The future of building.
By everyone, for everyone.
WikiHouse is a digitally-manufactured building system. It aims to make it simple for anyone to design, manufacture and assemble beautiful, high-performance homes that are customised to their needs.
1 Digital design
WikiHouse is an adaptable system of standardised parts. This means each house can be unique without costing more. One size doesn’t need to fit all
2 Local fabrication
WikiHouse doesn’t need a large, expensive factory. Components are manufactured by a network of local microfactories using digital fabrication tools.
3 Rapid assembly
Homes can be rapidly assembled to millimetre precision, like a flat-pack. Almost anyone can do it; including small businesses and self-builders.
