Hi!

I’m Vincent from Leiden. After seeing the great TED talk of Alastair I dived into WikiHouse. Co-founded ‘Stichting WikiHouseNL’ (Stichting = Foundation) in 2015. Worked on several WikiHouse projects. Started to explore the first WikiHouse systems (without screws) before Wren. After that, Wren [3,6m span] was the starting point for creating and develop the Swift system [4,8m span] in the Netherlands. It has been tested and fits the Dutch regulations for permenant housing. In the meantime, 31 WikiHouses are built with Swift. De Pionierswoning [show & test case for Swift v1.0] can be found on Github. The files of Swift v2.0 (Used for ‘De Stripmaker’ project in Almere) will be shared soon hopefully.

And if I have news about Swift or WikiHouse in NL I’ll share it in the Swift section. For now check WikiHouseNL.cc (in Dutch).

If anyone would like to know more about, or share experiences/ thoughts about WikiHouse [Swift] in the Netherlands, tag me @Vincent-WHNL.

Hi Michal,
It’s possible, but I’m sorry still not everything is ready yet (The work for making it possible to share all that has to be done in free time). May be you can share what you are planning to do? If needed we can do an online meeting. Then we can help you out and share some Swift files. By the way, did you already check this: https://wikihousenl.cc/downloaden/
Groet, Vincent
