Get everyone involved in architecture
Your building, our knowledge, think different with WikiHouse
WikiHouse is a low-cost, sustainable and simple solution to construction in the 21st century that you can build yourself. Think differently about your capabilities and empower yourself to build for yourself or with your community. Imagine a system that does for construction what IKEA did for furniture, i.e. make it possible for everyone to get stuck into a building project and save money whilst retaining a high level of quality.
We are specialists in designing and building using WikiHouse to facilitate our client’s ambitions through our design and technical knowledge. We can also provide training for any volunteers and onsite leadership to help during the build process in addition to our typical architectural duties. It's so easy the whole family can get involved!
Our WikiHouse Portfolio
At Architecture Unknown we believe design and construction should be an inclusive dialogue where everyone takes part, one where architecture becomes more than just the route to a building. With WikiHouse we are able to cater to the needs of your future build, by empowering you to build with those closest to you! No project is too big or too small for a WikiHouse solution.
