Wiki World Forest Store Opens at Merryda Wiki World-Secret Camp in 2026
In 2026, Wiki World inaugurated the Wiki World Forest Store, a 120-square-meter retail space located at the entrance of Merryda Wiki World-Secret Camp, adjacent to a forest. The initiative, led by HAN Shuang, underscores Wiki World's commitment to sustainable design, incorporating zero-footprint and all-wood constructions. This venture opens discussions on repurposing waste wood for housing and innovative designs. The architecture combines natural wood and glass to advocate for recycling and streamline construction efforts. The project team included Mu Wei, Feng Zhaoxian, and others, with construction by Wiki World and Natong Jiazhu, utilizing materials from Fuhan Wood Industry and ELLAI.
