Wiki World: Winner of World Design Awards 2025. Seriema House is located in a bucolic refuge on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte. To access it, you must cross a mountain range, a journey that marks a transition. By leaving behind the noise of the city, visitors enter a”Merryda Wiki World • Secret” is a forest retreat camp created by United Investment Merryda Hotel Management Group in collaboration with Wiki World. Located on Cihui Street in Dongxihu District, Wuhan, the project is set within a metasequoia forest that serves as a habitat for migratory birds, with over a dozen treehouses discreetly nestled among the trees. This is a marvelous project—each treehouse has evolved from the presence of birds, and each treehouse is a friend to the birds perched on the branches. On ordinary days, you can come here to chirp and chatter along with the birds, keeping them company. serene environment, fully integrated with nature.

We designed seven types of cabins to explore the possibilities of living in nature: Unicorn, Redmill, Daydream, Playground, Nomadic Land, and Time Machine.

At “Wiki Secrets,” we become part of nature once again: here, you will receive “Letters from the Birds,” which will tell you about the wonders of your journey; here, you will participate in the exhibition “The Evolution of Birds,” curated for our feathered friends, and learn about the miraculous evolution of these magical creatures; here, you can DIY your own public welfare birdhouse and look forward to the return of travelers next spring.

At “Wiki Secrets,” we have established the “Forest Shop,” a treasure trove of whimsical ideas inspired by nature, featuring creative peripherals made from natural materials: bird-shaped alarm clocks, egg-shaped tables, seed cards, and miniature “tree” bags. Here, we also periodically host the “Wiki Building School” Sino-French Construction Festival, inviting nature-loving adults and children to continue exploring the shapes of home in the embrace of nature.

The entire building adopts a glued timber structure, with each custom-shaped component and joint digitally designed and customized, achieving 100% prefabricated assembly. When it comes to living spaces, there is certainly no standard answer—everyone hopes their dwelling can reflect their own understanding of life.

Wiki World continues its longstanding philosophy of natural construction. We preserved every tree and bamboo on the site, maintaining the original woodland and path textures. The houses are entirely elevated above the ground, and all structures are independently developed prefabricated timber systems, built collaboratively by the team and the users.

Natural buildings can be built like Lego. Little cabins, like building blocks, were placed in the forest. We stick to the original wild wood construction technique that we hand fired the façade of the carbonized wood boards. The cabins are all connected by small metal components that can be repeatedly assembled.

We try to create a precise relationship between the cabins and the environment in the nature. Each wooden cabin is elevated above the ground, and no walls or artificial landscapes are used. Nature is the best package.

Wiki World is an open-source architectural community founded by architects, designers and educators from China. It provides natural building products that anyone can enjoy their own cabins and facilities, promoting initiative living in harmony with nature and allowing everyone to realise their own wild homes. We believe the future urbanism and village development will be more and more involved swarm intelligence and real community. We are hopeful that the era of machine-built architecture is no longer the only choice, and that architecture can once again return to human hands. Everyone can create their own world, which is why we are named Wiki World.
