The base of the Wikkelhouse is ‘virgin fiber paperboard’, which is made from Scandinavian trees. This so called goldboard, is wrapped around a huge mold, with a method patented by RS Developments, while environmentally friendly glue is added. This creates a tough and insulating sandwich structure. By this wrapping process a heat insulation and construction method are integrated in a sustainable way. Afterwards each segment is finished with a protective film and a shell of wooden slats.
Wikkelhouse meets the criteria for temporary or permanent housing. It is about eight times more durable than traditional construction.
The Wikkelhouse can be placed within a day and can be supplied with glass facades or closed. It is a unique and contemporary design, that creates livable, unique and creative spaces.

Installed in April 2018 in the Phocéenne city, it is one of the first forty habitable cardboard houses. And the design of these modular mini-homes is far from what one could imagine of a construction in this material. The design is refined, in a Scandinavian style, with ultra-modern light wood finishes and a large bay window.
