BoKlok by Ikea
Ikea is expanding is BoKlok prefab housing line to serve the United Kingdom. Last month, it received planning permission for 36 dwellings in St. James Village, Gates head.
The BoKlok house represents modern, affordable living that would be particularly ideal for young families or couples preparing to start a family.
They come with the same package and high quality features as the flats, including IKEA kitchens, solar panels and low energy heating, and are designed to exceed all current UK Building Regulations Standards.
A typical BoKlok building is an L-shaped, two-story structure containing three apartments on each floor. These L-shaped buildings are grouped together to form a semi-enclosed courtyard.
Individual BoKlok apartments are composed of two modular units, which in turn are made of timber framing and an insulated, closed panel system developed by Pace Timber Systems. Units arrive on site with their interiors already installed; the roof, exterior walls, and plumbing must be added afterward.
