Hello everyone from Switzerland. And there are people who have already built with this system in Switzerland? Thank you
This question is asked often. When I started with wikihouse this was one of my first questions. Would a google map of wikihouses around the world help?
Below is the Ai answer.
As of December 2024, there are no publicly documented WikiHouse projects in Switzerland. The WikiHouse Projects page does not list any completed structures within the country.
However, the WikiHouse system is open-source, allowing architects, engineers, and builders in Switzerland to adopt and implement it. If you’re interested in initiating a WikiHouse project in Switzerland, you can collaborate with local professionals who are willing to work with the system. The WikiHouse team offers support to professionals new to the system, as mentioned on their Services page:
“If your project is located somewhere else, you can still use WikiHouse, but you will need to find a CNC manufacturer and a structural engineer who are interested in working with WikiHouse. They can contact us, and we will provide them with free support to get them started with WikiHouse.”
Therefore, while there are no existing WikiHouse projects or listed professionals in Switzerland, the framework is accessible for new projects. Engaging with local professionals and the WikiHouse community can facilitate the development of WikiHouse structures in Switzerland.
For inspiration, you might look at the A-Barn project in Austria, where a group of architects and designers developed a prototype using the WikiHouse system. The structure was disassembled and rebuilt as a permanent mountain escape. This example demonstrates the adaptability of the WikiHouse system in different European contexts. You can find more information about this project on the WikiHouse Designs page.
Additionally, the WikiHouse Community Forum is a valuable resource for connecting with others interested in or working on WikiHouse projects. Engaging with this community can provide insights and support as you explore the potential for WikiHouse projects in Switzerland.
