Nine-Five Pod
Summary
We often hear from our commercial clients when they are looking for additional workspace but delivered as quickly as possible to fulfil an urgent need. We’ve taken the brief for a fully functioning office and designed a Pod Space building, ready to go and without the need to factor in design time. We’ve included all the usual hallmarks of smart, contemporary Pod Space design and in a configuration that’s easy to install as a modular system.
With speed of design and fast site installation times with minimal disruption, this could be just the right choice for clients where a quick turnaround is critical to the success of the project.
The interior features separate spaces for desk working, open plan meeting and smaller areas for washroom and kitchen facilities as well as entrance and storage. Every space links ergonomically to the next for maximum efficiency and our designers have ensured that no area is without natural light from full height glazing. We can still customise the building to allow for altered dimensions or alternative cladding or window/ door positions.
The eco benefits don’t end with the lower operating costs and reduced carbon footprint of a modular construction, if your building needs to be relocated to another site, we can also factor this into the construction. When it comes to the planning application, we have a long history of successful applications as we can address issues critical to planning policy such as impact on the wider environment and immediate locality.
