In Sweden, IKEA has a line of prefab homes BoKlok.  Now they bring some of their prefab knowledge to the US by teaming up with ReadyMade magazine to show these ReadyMade Signature Modular Dwellings at at locations along the West Coast.

The dwelling has a full kitchen, living room, and bedroom — all tightly packaged in a tiny little space.

The IKEA ReadyMade structure is neat and, if commercialized, could serve as a work shed, ADU, or studio.  But “the house seemed designed specifically for showcasing the IKEA stuff inside,” explained Janzen, and “would take some modifications to make the structure habitable.“Apparently, ReadyMade hinted to visitors that blueprints would be available in the future, which could be interesting.  We’ll see if anything comes of this.
