Prefab House
The latest prefab house to arrive at Kryddgården in Tungelsta did so this morning. I can see the crane from home so I know when it's time for an update to my Housing Project set.
Interesting set on Flickr. Cultural influence on terminology can be funny. In the US, "housing project" has a totally different meaning.
What are these houses made of? Most houses that I see going up in CH are made of concrete blocks and bricks (complete with a bunker in the basement), and I had somewhat stupidly thought that was common throughout all of Europe.

I have renamed this set a few times, maybe I should do that again? The houses are made by a company called plusshus. http://www.plusshus.se/
ReplyDeleteI don't have any statistics but i would say that most houses here are made by wood.
