The design can also be applied for industr y related “camps” or eco - tourism excursions. Coupled with various different “SKINS” and “BASES”, the combinations are endless. Lastly, the inte gration of a “PERSONAL HOUSING UNIT ” allows versatile living arrangements, aggregations and mobilit y. The assembly of these par ts are intended to create jobs in the nor th. When settlements or communities have exhausted their use, the individual par ts can be dis a sse mble d a n d store d or re - a sse mble d wh e re ve r the re i s a n e e d. Th i s i s se mi - pe r ma n e n t a pproa c h a llows housing to be truly sustainable in Nunavut.
