SEATTLE AVENUE

BoKlok is a groundbreaking new concept to housing that involves providing space-saving, functional and high-quality properties at a price that enables as many people as possible to afford a comfortable home.

First pioneered in the 90s in Sweden by furniture company IKEA and construction firm Skanska, BoKlok has expanded to Finland, Denmark, Norway and the UK.
BoKlok, roughly translated, means “live smart” and its concept is based on customers’ real needs and wishes - a safe environment, roominess and access to green space. The Flats provide open plan living, with high ceilings and large windows offering light and spaciousness, solar panels, and low-energy heating. The homes combine Swedish tradition with modern design, which may best be seen in the choice of building material and the effective and stylish utilization of space.

Completing the sense of community and a safe environment are inner courtyards and green space with a particular emphasis on minimizing the impact of cars and parking.
In larger schemes, they will provide pocket parks and interactive children’s play areas, as well as dedicated recycling stations. All the flats will use sustainable materials and be energy efficient. Along with the flats they are now building what they call the Terraced House, a roomier home for expectant or growing families.

The 10 goals of BoKlok are: compact living, safe environment, good standard, modern living, low price, light and space, close to the ground, complete solutions, good design and small scale. You can read how they achieve these goals quickly and easily on their homepage.
