Last summer I showed you some photos from a dairy farm called Skarplöt. One reason for visiting the old farm was that the area is undergoing some changes at the moment. A little over a year ago I remember seeing the farmer out on the fields in a tractor. Today that field looks like this. IKEA and Skanska are behind this project that they call BoKlok (clever living). You can read more about the concept in English at the BoKlok website. And in Swedish here. Come the spring 42 families will live here at Blåklockan. It will probably look a bit different when it is all finished, with a green park, and tree lined roads and what have you so I will go back for a better look then.

I think that the idea behind this design is great. If it allows most people to be able to have a decent home at a good price, why not? Wish we had something like that here.
it looks beautiful in the snow, but can't wait to see how it also looks like during summer.
This is what we call a "planned community." Not so different from Stone Creek, where we live. The houses/villas are similar; the area is very well put together; we have a beautiful golf course; a massive spa and two gorgeous pools; lots of green space and many ponds/small lakes, etc.
One difference, though, you have to be 55 years old to live here and cannot get in without permission.
Oh, and just 5-6 years ago this was part of a huge horse farm.
A whole home built by IKEA....interesting idea. You will have to go back in the summer and get another photol.
Let's see what they do with the surrounding area...
