"Now, though, Ikea has decided to export BoKlok -- which translates roughly to "smart living" -- to the United Kingdom together with the UK real estate firm Live Smart @ Home. Perhaps just the thing for the island's chronic housing shortage.
As one might expect from an Ikea product, the houses put function over form -- but form counts too. Nice wood window frames with double-paned windows, for example. They also come with your very own Ikea kitchen should you so desire.
And in 2007, they will be popping up across the country. That, at least, is what company strategists are hoping. And with Ikea selling some 800 such houses a year in Sweden, the optimism seems well grounded."
Where I would put it is something I'll worry about later...
