Wikkelhouse: pick your modular segments & click them together

  • After a couple decades creating theater sets in Amsterdam, Oep Schilling and his company of makers Fiction Factory, put their CNC expertise and resources into building a prefab tiny house, using cardboard as the main structural element. Relying on a proprietary machine that can wrap corrugated sheets around a mold, they could create high strength cardboard that serves as both support and insulation.
    The “Wikkelhouse”, or “wrap house”, is a truly customizable home composed of 5-meter-square (53-square-foot) modules that click together to create any-sized structure. The 1.2-metre-deep segments (3.9 feet) are first built up from 24 layers of cardboard moulded around a house-shaped frame. Once “printed”, the basic units can be customized: cut with one or two spherical windows, kitted out as a bathroom, a kitchen or even a narrow bunk room or two or three can be combined to create larger rooms.
    Schilling says 20% of the orders have been for 8 segment shelters (often for nature cabins), though they have sold a lot of 4, 5 and 6 unit structures as well. “I hope to sell a three because I like it really tiny,” he explains. “Three could work, but it's a bit like a hotel room, but of course you have the sky, you have a garden. I've lived in smaller spaces, compared to a caravan this is like a villa."

    I've loved corrugated cardboard as construction material for ages. It's strength is quite remarkable. That, combined with the ease of use, (all you need is, a blade, tape & glue) makes it incredibly versatile.
    When i was studying design in 1980, we got a chair project to research a style, design a chair in that style, then build the scale model. I did a large, traditional rocking chair, in cardboard. Which i built full size. It lived in a corner of the classroom & was used regularly. It survived till the end of the year & was in quite good shape.

    What I find intriguing: the modular concept of building in section/elements and simply having configurable modules to build to your desire.
    What I find infuriating: cardboard as a core in a plywood home with no ideas of R-value, U-factor, material longevity, load rating (because someone will put panels on it or put it where snow falls), wind load, and cost ($10k € per module with nothing more than a plywood finish and cardboard core.
    Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the concept, but as an engineer, I also have to consider the practicality and long term viability of said project using said materials.

      In the US in the 90s, there was a woman who lived in a house insulated with "fireproof" paper shreds. A leak developed in her attic walls and she did not know it. The fireproofing was washed out of the paper, it dried. She used an insect bomb in her basement, the pilot light of her water heater set the insect fog on fire, and the whole house burned. The dried paper out of which the fireproofing had been washed was a large cause of the total damage. Until the insurance company figured out what happened, she was charged with arson, they thought she had done something intentionally.

    I dont understand all the hate in the comment section because some one is trying a new method, it might not be the cheapest construction method out there and might not last 100 years but thats not the point. New houses these days are not built to last that length of time anyway with most companys refusing to offer any sort of protection past the 15 year mark. How often do you actually come across a 50+ year old house that hasnt been rebuilt in some form ????
    Yes its a cardboard house in a way but its not a house just made out of cardboard, if you actually watched the video and understood what they were doing then you would understand why it costs what it does. The equipment required isnt cheap and the processes of forming then bonding all the plywood panels isnt a quick job and requires skilled craftsmen.
    I love this idea and its giving me a different opinion when it comes to building my own place which if im honest was stuck at the shipping container stage currently, I dont care if the building doesnt last 100 years i will be long dead by then so why should it matter to anyone else if thier houses last longer than they do ?? Money and property doent mean anything once you are gone.

      A hall or mudroom is a must have in cold winters. If you have none, your house will get freezingly cold whenever you open your door.
      Progress (the industrial revolution) and its exploitation of working class people, caused the law on homes (Woningwet). In 1900 1 million Dutch people lived in slums and alleys: that's 1 in 5. In one room, often lived a whole family of 15 people. Their homes were dilapidated but expensive.
      50 Years earlier the King asked for basic requirements to working class homes. The advice was to make them weather proof; have access to sunlight, fresh air & water; and have drainage of urine and feces. That tells you that these slums didn't have all that. It took 50 years and some deadly diseases (like the 1886 cholera epidemic) to take the problems of ordinary folks serious.

      not cheap for sure. The cost I'm sure comes in the labour. Very cool though.

    Somewhere in a alternate universe, the evil version of this man has completely taken over the world and subjugated the masses.
    This man is a genius. I bet the inside of his head is noisy 24/7 365.

    Very much suitable for hot climates.
    Only thing is the life style and usage of water. In India bathrooms are not usually dry because of usage of water. Instead of corrugated paper board, you may have to use PVC corrugated layers on the inside and outside. Then solve the fire -resistance problem. I like the idea.
