Hot or Not? OfficePOD

032609officepod-hotornot.jpgWould you like working in an OfficePOD as a home office?


 
 

The unit is a 2.1-by-2.1-metre structure that can be installed in less than a day and typically requires no planning consent. Designed to maximize efficiency in its use of space, the OfficePOD features innovative storage and desktop solutions using high-quality materials chosen for their visual, physical and environmental characteristics. Recycled and recyclable products have been used wherever possible and natural materials chosen over man-made. Power is provided via a protected connection to the house or garage; IT and phone connectivity are generally wireless but can be similarly cabled. The POD satisfies the most stringent energy performance benchmarks with its low energy consumption, high levels of insulation and innovative cooling system. Also included on the OfficePOD is a secure locking system. The OfficePOD is available to employers through a flexible leasing arrangement with full service including all surveys, enabling work, installation, help-desk support, health and safety assessments, repairs and removal.

If you needed a separate space away from kids to ensure getting work done, OK, but they'd still coming a-knocking!

This is super nice. I wish I had a house to go with it. Maybe it will fit in my flat... OK... not the right place for it. I hope ventilation has been considered as this is a small space.

this is awesome. no matter how isolated your office is inside the house, if the house is constantly occupied especially by kids, having a separate pod for an office is great.
