IKEA is launching a modular home project for Alzheimer's patients, in collaboration with the Swedish Royal Family and BoKlok, the company that already markets this type of housing in Sweden, Finland, Norway, and the UK.

These houses will not have mirrors or dark floors in the bathroom, or electrical appliances with tactile or digital panels, to prevent users from becoming disoriented.

They will have gardens and social clubs for "therapeutic" purposes.

IKEA has been exploring new ways to offer more space for lower prices with flatpack housing solutions.

However, the Swedish furniture giant is going one step further and is collaborating with sustainable housing BoKlok and the Queen of Sweden on a project called SilviaBo, according to CNN Business.

Through collaborating with BoKlok, a firm already gaining momentum both in Sweden and in markets outside of Scandinavia, IKEA is developing a plan to build homes specially designed for the elderly and those suffering from Alzheimer's.

According to CNN Business' report, the housing will offer light-colored parquet and flooring, conventional electrical appliances without tactile or digital interfaces, and no mirrors in bathrooms — the aim being to prevent those affected by the disease from becoming disoriented in their own homes.

In addition, the residences will be built in complexes where other tenants' homes will also share the same features.

These small residences will also include "therapeutic" gardens for residents.

The name of the project, SilviaBo, is derived from the name of Swedish monarch, Queen Silvia, whose mother suffered from Alzheimer's disease.

According to Royal Central, the Queen was made an Honorary Ambassador of Alzheimer's Disease International in 2018 in honor of her strong commitment to both end-of-life care as well as the elderly.

IKEA and Queen Silvia's foundation have worked as partners throughout this project. The owner of IKEA himself, Ingvar Kamprad, also made large donations to the project according to CNN Business' report.

Although BoKlok is already active in several markets including Finland, Norway, and the United Kingdom, the SilviaBo project will, for now, only be operational in Sweden.

There, a small pilot project comprised of six apartments has already been built on the outskirts of Stockholm.

BoKlok foresees increased demand for homes such as these with aging populations across the globe

According to AARP Politics, by 2040, one in five Americans will be over 65, due to the baby boom that took place after World War II. This is happening all over the world as life expectancy increases.

In addition to housing designed for residents with Alzheimer's, BoKlok also wants to introduce this sort of housing for those over 65 years, with small adjustments to certain aspects of the homes to assist those who struggle with mobility.

"To take care of elderly people, that cost is exploding," BoKlok CEO Jonas Spangenberg told CNN Business. "It's much cheaper for society and the public to give them service back home."

BoKlok, owned jointly by IKEA and construction company Skanska, will be responsible for the entire construction chain of the complexes, from the purchase of the land and the construction of the housing pieces to building the homes themselves and selling and marketing the residences.
