They focus on creating healthy and comfortable living and working environments through bio-based and circular construction methods. Their offerings include custom-designed villas, recreational homes, commercial buildings, and clubhouses, all constructed using wood. Finnhouse emphasizes a harmonious blend of wood and glass in their architectural designs, aiming to integrate structures seamlessly with their natural surroundings. Their construction approach highlights sustainability and eco-friendliness. They prioritize wood as a primary building material, citing its CO2 storage capabilities and contribution to a circular economy by replacing traditional materials like stone and concrete. They employ a post-and-beam (Paal&Balk) wood construction system, allowing for open, adaptable floor plans and large glass facades. This method contributes to the unique architectural style characteristic of Finnhouse. They utilize natural insulation materials like wood fiber and promote vapor-permeable wall construction to ensure a healthy indoor climate. Finnhouse integrates biophilic design principles, grounding home designs in natural elements to enhance mental and physical well-being. Prefabricated wall elements allow for quick construction times and maintain high build quality. The company aims to promote sustainable living through custom-designed, bio-based wooden homes that contribute to a healthy and sustainable lifestyle for present and future generations. With over 4,600 satisfied residents, Finnhouse is committed to creating homes that are both environmentally responsible and beneficial for human health.

Wikkelhouse

Wikkelhouse, a prefab manufacturer based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, offers a unique and sustainable approach to modular home construction. These distinctive homes are designed to be eco-friendly, flexible, and aesthetically pleasing, catering to diverse needs, from holiday homes to guest houses and office spaces. The core of a Wikkelhouse is its modular design, consisting of 1.2-meter-deep segments that connect easily, offering the flexibility of a Lego house. This allows owners to customize their floor plans and add or remove segments as desired. These segments, weighing just over 600 kilos each, can be placed without the need for a foundation, opening up possibilities from seaside locations to rooftops. Sustainability is a central tenet of Wikkelhouse's design philosophy. Over 60% of each house is made of wood, sourced from renewable resources, and the company is striving towards 100% biodegradability. Flax, a sustainable fiber, is used as insulation, providing both warmth and soundproofing. The company also explores the use of solar panels to promote energy-neutral living. Wikkelhouse currently delivers in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Chile. As of the scraped date, over 150 Wikkelhouses have been built worldwide, in locations as diverse as Texel (Netherlands), Curacautin (Chile), and Corsica (France). Each Wikkelhouse is built in the Amsterdam workshop, then transported and assembled on-site within a single day. The price of a Wikkelhouse starts at EUR 40,000 excluding VAT, transport, and placement. Most houses are sold between EUR 60,000 and EUR 100,000 (excluding VAT, transport, and placement), depending on the number of segments used.
