Flatpack Housing For Drumchapel

From the Herald:

YOU have built flat­pack fur­ni­ture – now you can live in a flat­pack house. Ikea, the Swedish fur­ni­ture giant, is to create a series of pre­fab­ri­cated homes, for sale or rent, in Glasgow.

The com­pany will build up to 100 easy-​to-​assemble homes in Drum­chapel as part of the area’s £100m renaissance.

The prefab BoKlok homes, which roughly trans­lated means smart living, are hugely suc­cess­ful in Scan­di­navia and are lauded for their flex­i­ble open-​plan layout, high ceil­ings and large windows.

  4. I’ve been hear­ing about these types of homes for a while but haven’t actu­ally seen one. I hear they have started to build some of these on the West Side of Los Ange­les and wouldn’t be sur­prised if they take off.

    You’ve got me curi­ous so I guess I’ll have to take a daytrip. Thanks for pass­ing along the information,

    Holly
