About Husk
The HUSK system is a based around a set of reusable modules namely Flexible Life Buildings (FLB) built following the resource efficient principles of Design for Deconstruction, in particular reuse, rapid deployabilty and adaptability. – In general terms they are a range of fabricated modules and accessories that can be utilised singularly or combined to form larger buildings and structures.
Foundationless, Husk FLBs are sited directly on to prepared ground and when no longer required or after a given period of time they can be removed and re-deployed to an entirely different location or locations, utilising some or all of the modules in the same or different configurations, If requirements change during their deployment husk modules can also be easily adapted or added to.
On completion of the deployment the land can then be returned back to its original condition allowing more permanent construction to take place.
The ability of the FLB system to open up opportunities for many previously economically unviable sites to be reconsidered for their temporary development potential (c. 5-10 year period). Husk will use an informed approach to defining the optimal use mix to inform how derelict plots are transformed into vibrant pop-up places. These community focused developments will have the capability to repair areas and offer a valuable toolkit for revitalising neighbourhoods as they undergo change, supporting the wider urban renewal process, underpinned by our desire to reduce carbon and promote material reuse in construction
