{related}Ikea,LiveSmart@Home,BoKlok{related} A new generation of pre-fabricated homes were unveiled today in Gateshead, Tyneside.
Ikea pioneered the BoKlok concept homes in Scandinavia, which some commentators believe could help resolve the UKs affordable housing crisis.
The British firm Live Smart @ Home has the exclusive rights to build the homes in this country.
A two-bedroom show apartment - decked out in Ikea furniture - was opened for viewing by the media.
The first six of 93 units are nearly completed.
Prices start at %26pound;99,950 for a one-bedroom flat, and rise to %26pound;124,950 for a two-bedroom apartment.
Houses start at %26pound;132,500 for two beds, and %26pound;149,995 buys a three-bedroom home.
They will be sold on a rented, outright sale or shared-ownership basis.
It is thought the first residents could move in by March. Those who move into a BoKlok property will receive a %26pound;250 voucher from Ikea.
