We reported last year on retailer IKEA's prefab homes. More from The Guardian: Britain's first "Ikealand" opened its metal-panelled pine doors yesterday in an experiment designed to spread the company's off-the-shelf principle from wardrobes and sofas to entire houses. Treehugger adds: Seen as a way for them to get onto the property ladder, these houses will sell for $260,000 for a two bedroom townhouse. Assembled in a factory nearby, they get to the site ready to be bolted together and take about 16 weeks from start to completion. I did a little research on prices in the area; these look competitive. author: Martin Wainwright
