IKEA Flatpack Update

by Adam on March 8th, 2007

For the past couple of years IKEA has been working on supplying high quality low cost housing all over the UK. Like in other parts of the world, the UK housing market has far out paced income. This recently signed deal is for 1200 homes to built over the course of 12 years in Drumchapel a town of Glasgow,Scottland.

IKEA’s concept called Boklok, which means “Live Smart”, is prefab home that can be easily assembled onsite. It is a natural transition because they already supply everything else in between, why not in a America?

    I think I’d like to buy an IKEA flatpack home. I like everything else they do, why not prefabs?
