With more families staying put and working from home during the pandemic, Huub is letting its design imagination run wild. 

There are always opportunities in times of great challenge. For one innovative Dorset business, the huge overnight growth in working from home becuase of Coronavirus may literally open new doors.

Huub is a new space-creating design concept and looks to have a bright future as more people set up an office at home and fewer families move house, looking instead to make better use of the space they already have. 

it also taps into the growing demand for 'local' home energy supplies and environmentally sustainable solutions.

Bournemouth Echo:

Huubs' are Dorset built, state of the art, timber-framed modular buildings, powered by solar energy. Using CGI technology they are created by the in-house team to almost any bespoke requirement, although there are already a number of off-the-shelf designs. 

Huub was founded by Dan Cole and Martin Hawkins around 18 months ago and is a sister firm to WessexECOEnergy which has been providing integrated solar, battery and electric vehicle charging solutions for six years.

Bournemouth Echo:

Dan and Martin designed and built the groundbreaking White Stones at Portland, an arts cafe and eco studio development for holidaymakers, artists, writers, wellbeing practitioners, and entrepreneurs.

It's a new tourist hotspot, and this unique project was the catalyst for establishing the Huub brand and bringing together the building and energy businesses as one.

The events of the past few months and longer term trends have given the company new opportunities and fresh imperus. 

Bournemouth Echo:

Dan said: "The Coronavirus pandemic has led to many millions of us working from home in the past few months and that is going to be a long term trend. in fact this has been quietly increasing since the beginning of the 2000s.

"The Huub can provide an attractive, imaginative and cost affective solution and actually produce enough solar energy to provide up to 90 per cent of a home's energy". 

Another benefit of the Huub approach is that it can help to meet the rise in demand for Airbnb solutions and generate revenue.
