Ikea's mostly prefab BoKlok (pronounced "book-look," Swedish for "smart living") homes have proven to be wildly popular in Scandinavia with over 3,500 purchased and built, and now this mod housing movement makes its way over to the St James Village, Gateshead area in the UK. The designs are based off of extensive research in efficient living as opposed to the grand visions of architects and designers. Ikea packs energy efficiency, open-plan living spaces, and fitted kitchens into these affordable abodes (2-3 bedrooms for less than GBP$100,000) ...and even provides each new homeowner with an Ikea voucher! So the real question is...when do we get to hammer our BoKloks together here in NYC??

Im not sure sure about your pronounciation. I think its more like "Bow- Clock". I lived in Denmark for 3 years and Danish is pretty close to Swedish and in both "Bo" is house.

I live just outside of Gateshead so will be interested to see how they turn out.
I'm living in a terrace put up during the boer war. When is Boklok coming to Hull?
