Hi everyone. We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting the next release of Skylark. So we wanted to give you an update: the next major release — Skylark V1 — will not be publicly available this year. That is because we are currently testing it on a small number of pilot projects with selected delivery partners. This phase is essential to ensure the full library is robust and practical before a wider release. Behind the scenes, we’re working hard on two major areas: - Digital infrastructure – refining tools and documentation to make future releases smoother, clearer, and more useful for everyone. - A commercial supplier network – developing a network of companies that can deliver WikiHouse parts and full builds professionally and at scale. ### What does this mean for you? - If you’re a business already delivering WikiHouse projects, or ready to start – we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch to become part of our network of commercial partners. - If you’re designing with WikiHouse – please continue using the current library. - If you’re exploring our design services to deliver a finished building – reach out. We’re growing our capacity to deliver projects, particularly within the UK. Thanks for being part of the journey — and for your patience as we build something better together. ---

Thanks Mel, We got that. I will pass the link onto Hertzog Berger, Central CNC, and Adrien, from Mamet Homes ( WH design and Build), who would ideally like to see the V1 morph into a full external clad SIPP’s option. I have some Ideas to put to Clayton P. about an external clad for mainly upper level (2 Syorey) to save on scaffolding and B/B party walls in Town Houses. I will send thes hans sketches separarely.

Many thanks for the update. Just wondering: I noticed in [Any news on Skylark 1.0? - #3 by Mel](https://community.wikihouse.cc/t/any-news-on-skylark-1-0/1150/3) it says: > So we decided to take a step back and are currently developing a series of parametric scripts in Grasshopper to manage the creation of the blocks. **Are there plans to open source these parametric scripts?** Thanks again! ---

Hi there - thanks for asking. No, we don’t plan to make them available open source, we are simply developing them to enable easier version releases in future. Mel ---

Hi @Mel, thanks for the notice. Do you have a time in mind now about when v1 will be released? How are things evolving? ---
