The pod has a large roof dome to let in ample natural light during the day, and it has one porthole window for viewing. The door opens upwards like a gullwing car door, which makes it feel like you’re stepping into a futuristic space ship rather than your office. The desk inside is semi-circular, ergonomic and covered in Marmoleum®. The pod comes ready with electrical outlets, data ports, an electric heater, mood lighting and a smoke alarm. We wish our home office was that neat and tidy — without a single thing on the desk except a vase of flowers and a laptop.

I love the outside, but I find the placement of the window rather strange. If you make a garden house, wouldn’t you prioritize a great view into the garden? I would.
i’d prioritize a great view into the garden too, if I were building a garden house, but seeing as this is a prefab, designed to be an office, and could end up anywhere, i’d say they’ve done a great job. that little pod looks like an ideal escape to focus on work
I think the window should be bigger, so you do not have to switch-on the lights during the day. A bigger desk should be optional, some of us have to use desktops. And some shelves or cabinets would be nice.
no distractions! and if you see a cloud, don’t start daydreaming! WORK!
Can we make a pumpkin version with wheels? A mobile office?
