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.

  3. Hi,

    Has anyone got an update on the ikea homes in Drumchapel and where they are proposing to build them?

  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
