Let’s face it – the world of work is moving in an entirely new direction. In this day and age of at-home technologies and flex-time, more than ever employees don’t want to drive 20 miles to work, only to be stuck in a stuffy corporate office building for 9-plus hours a day. And don’t think that companies enjoy paying the exorbitant rents they do to house their employees in an office. It’s such a state of affairs, among numerous other considerations, that has inspired the creation of the OfficePOD – a design-forward, hassle free working environment that is at once away from the office and separate to home life.
The design of the OfficePOD is to satisfy four distinct criteria: 1) To create a self contained office that exceeds all standard office accommodation regulations and requirements; 2) To provide an environment that is conducive to productive work; 3) To create a product that staff would want, and even be proud to have, in their garden; and 4) To have the minimum possible impact on the environment – both in manufacture and use. The pre-fabricated, modular design of the OfficePOD allows it to be easily situated in a yard or garden, and ensures that little to no planning consent is needed. It is optimum in size (6.9ft x 6.9ft), has been meticulously crafted for user-friendliness and provides an appropriate degree of security both when empty and occupied. OfficePOD boasts excellent environmental credentials; recycled, recyclable and sustainable materials have been utilized wherever possible and man-made materials have been incorporated only when performance requirements dictate as such.
With an OfficePOD, the frustrations of “going” to the office are a thing of the past. Its contemporary look and feel is not only inviting, but conducive to productivity. The OfficePOD is ultimately a solution to the work/life conundrum that so many face; it is an opportunity to strike the ideal balance between the two.
