Named Wikkelhouse, which translates from Dutch as Wrap House, the completed prototype comprises a series of interlocking cardboard segments that each weigh 500 kilograms.

Each of these tubular components is 1.2 metres deep, and can be connected and disconnected to extend or reduce the length of the building. They also make it easily transportable.

Since Wikkelhouse is a modular concept the price is based on the configuration of segments needed. You can purchase an airframe Wikkelhouse from EUR 25.000,- (based on 3 segments and excluding transport and placement).

“Wikkelhouse is what you get when an everyday material finds a groundbreaking purpose,” said Fiction Factory, a group of artists that has previously worked together to design interiors, fair booths and furniture.

“Using cardboard as its main building material, Wikkelhouse is a cutting-edge sustainable house with a beautiful design and exceptional constructive strength.”

The cardboard is protected from weather by a waterproof but breathable film and finished with wooden cladding boards to create a weatherproof enclosure.

As the structure does not require a foundation, it can be built on a chosen site in just one day. Slot-in sections include a kitchen, shower and bathroom, and there are options for glazed or opaque facades.

The structure is made only from recyclable material and designed to last for at least 50 years.

Wrap House meets the criteria for temporary or permanent housing,” said the designers. “It is as much as three times more durable than traditional construction and has an expected life of at least 50 years.”

“You can move the house to different locations if needed, or extend your floorspace by adding one or more segments.”
