What features should Office Pods have?(2)

Ideally, the pod will also serve the space user as the work environment and needs change. In order to meet the needs of users in a few years time, be sure to consider the size of the Pod and the features it should have. Can the pod be moved to another location within the house if required?

When moving the pod, it is important to ensure that there is sufficient space around the pod in its new position and that it can be easily manoeuvred.

In a flexibly adaptable pod, the furniture can also be changed. The atmosphere of the space can be easily changed, for example by replacing traditional tables and chairs with reclining chairs. The pod's furniture can also be used to guide the user's intended use: reclining chairs encourage the pod to be used more as a chat room than as a place to work alone.

The pods will last particularly long if their dimensions can also be modified to meet future needs.

The importance of power sockets, USB ports or internet connections is often overlooked until they fail or are missing. People often come into the office in order to have face-to-face private conversations via video connection or telephone, or to find peace and quiet at work. Whatever the reason, pods must have enough ports and power outlets to charge operational equipment.

Well-functioning connections ensure that the space is suitable for its purpose, which is a key requirement when working in an office pod. Therefore, Pods must not be insulated to avoid poor telephone connections or Internet connections.

When choosing a pod, always consider energy efficiency as well: the most economical and environmentally friendly option is a pod that consumes electricity only when the space is in use.

A door that opens and closes quietly, fresh air that is maintained even during long phone calls, pleasant sound and light that does not reflect on the computer screen - together these make the office pod easy and pleasant to use without complications. A well-functioning space is a whole made up of small details that create a good everyday user experience.

It is important to lay out an office pod to reflect its intended use - for example, the layout of a meeting room is very different from that of a separate work area. From start to finish, solid walls are rarely a good solution as they do not allow the space to be open, easy to use and comfortable.

Ventilation in the workplace has a major impact on the energy levels of employees and their ability to focus on their tasks. In a small and frequently used office pod, the efficiency of the ventilation is tested on a daily basis. In a well-ventilated space, creativity can flow more freely and energy is effortless.

The lighting in the office pod should also be noted. If the space is regularly used for computer work, the light must not be reflected onto the computer screen. However, the lighting should be bright enough for chatting and video conferencing. Carefully planned and designed lighting allows for multiple uses of the space.

High-quality office pods can be moved from one place to another.

In dynamic office environments, it may be necessary to move the pod from time to time. Office pods that can be repeatedly disassembled and reassembled without compromising their performance can also be easily moved from one floor or building to another.

High-quality office pods can also be used safely. Additional attention should be paid, for example, to the ease of cleaning the surfaces in the pods.

Office pods that are easy to maintain will also have a long service life. In addition to regular maintenance, it is advisable to ensure that the power sockets, ports and other wearing parts in the pods can be replaced. From an environmental point of view, a durable and easy to maintain workspace is a sustainable choice. The possible reusability and recyclability of materials is taken into account at the procurement stage. The timeless appearance of the pods ensures that they blend in with their surroundings and adapt to changes in the working environment.
