Airspace Pod A comfortable individual workspace pod
This “workpod” is a response to the new working at home phenomenon, brought about by Covid 19. It does not require planning consent, has no foundations, (and minimal wind resistance) and can be carried by hand through a terraced house ( in pieces) and assembled by two people in an hour. The idea is that it can be installed in a very small space and will provide a quiet, ergonomic, comfortable concentrating individual workspace for someone who simply does not have a spare room at home but needs to work at home. An employer can provide these pods for staff, and they can be returned to the employer or move house with the user.
The technology adopted is inspired by the bicycle helmet – made from 12 panels of injection moulded polystyrene (uses steam to fuse the polystyrene beads together), with a vacuum wrapped acrylic shell. The floor and furniture are made from a highly sustainable board material made from recycled waste products, and the whole unit can be fully recycled at the end of life. The unit sits on adjustable stainless steel feet – ( no groundworks required, and can be moved around on the site) and is ballasted with kiln-dried sand.
Choosing an architect
Clients often approach us with only an outline idea of their project – for example they need more space or feel there is a disconnect between their house and garden – and can’t see how best to find a solution. They feel a need for architectural insight and advice to bring a project to life; This is where we begin to add significant value. We help our clients to explore and refine their needs before responding with concept designs, often introducing ideas beyond what they had imagined possible. Not only does this help both parties ensure they are on the right path to a viable solution, but also that the solution has an expert’s insight to make an elegant proposal that gets the absolute maximum benefit for the money spent.
