Key takeaways: 5 ways pods > construction and are well worth the investment…

1. Work pods are flexible, constructed rooms are not; pods pay off long-term, while rooms don’t. They present a more solid business case. They’re also the easier, quicker option.

2. Pods are ready-made, ready to work, while structural rooms are just shells.

3. Pods are mobile and/or modular, making your workplace ready for anything. Hard walls are inflexible, limiting what’s possible.

4. Pods are space-efficient, while constructed spaces often lead to wasted space.

5. Pods are the best privacy solution for open space offices — the only flexible way to give employees a variety of fully private work and meeting environments.

How much is a small office pod?

A small office pod like hushTwin ranges between $21,750-24,500. HushTwin is a unique fix, a perfect fit for tight spaces because it’s a “duo” pod made of two independent workspaces linked for paramount space efficiency (~ 21 sq. ft.). Both of its independent workspaces are fully functional, complete with comfy furniture, Plug & Play power, and adjustable lights/ventilation.

How much is a 2 person meeting pod?

2 person meeting pods like hushMeet.S range between $15,750-$17,750. A pod like hushMeet.S works beautifully in any layout because it’s designed specifically for 2 people, taking up minimal space while providing awesome comfort to users. What’s more, its perfect acoustics give every meeting perfect privacy. Check out its product page here.

How much is a 4-person meeting pod?

Meeting pod prices range between $13,500-$19,500.

5 ways office work pods outperform construction, making them well worth the investment…

What pods give you is options. Freedom and flexibility in the form of a highly moldable layout. Infrastructure, by contrast, locks you in, limiting you to a fixed design

– says Mateusz Barczyk, Senior Brand Manager, Hushoffice.

Pods are like a clever spatial design workaround. They give the office precious moldability. They’re the agile way to subdivide a workspace, to create multiple zones without rigid structural walls. Because they’re mobile and/or modular (see: the hushMeet.L for modular conference meeting pods), they make the entire layout workable, incredibly easy to change.

They can be grouped in clusters or positioned like satellites, farther apart, encouraging office movement between pods or safe/comfortable social distance between colleagues. They cater directly to a team’s immediate needs and adapt in step with these needs as they evolve.

Because they’re like miniature rooms, when you reorient your pod arrangement, you’re virtually re-creating the entire floor plan, all within a few hours and all without interrupting work

– continues Mateusz Barczyk, Senior Brand Manager, Hushoffice.

Like perfectly private, perfectly soundproofed prefabricated rooms, pods take less than a few hours to assemble yet unlock a sure, steady future of privacy, quality acoustics, and office functionality in the face of change. At the end of your lease, should you choose to relocate, all your pods come with you, providing the same privacy, acoustics, and functionality within the same minimal square footage.

Constructed rooms simply don’t offer these same benefits. Let’s get granular…

Because work pods are flexible and constructed rooms are not, they pay off long-term, while rooms don’t; pods present a more solid business case. Pods can be also the easier, quicker option.

Your standard meeting room is ineffective after a few years, while a meeting booth adds value indefinitely because it’s an asset you keep, relocating, retrofitting, and resizing as needed. In other words, built rooms are sunk costs while pods are investments for the future.

Then there’s the cost in attention. Framing, drywall, electrical, construction and demolition of walls, power, ventilation, sprinkler systems, soundproofing, furniture… Dozens of little decisions that steal focus from other initiatives for weeks. Overseeing contractors, acquiring permits, getting the landlord’s permission, commissioning an architectural engineer or building manager, and getting the final “go-ahead” from safety professionals like fire marshals and building inspectors…. It all takes time and energy. And throughout this involved process, employees on-site are disrupted by commotion, noise, debris, and dust. Moreover, even in the hands of professionals, construction is often wasteful.

Pods and booths are a way to bypass this construction fuss, stress, and waste. They arrive within weeks and assemble within hours, while a typical meeting room can take months to plan and build. And, of course, build-outs are subject to delays from weather, labor availability, material shortages, and other factors out of your control. Pods just arrive on their delivery date, yearning to be set up and used. They’re good to go, once assembled and plugged into a power source, with Plug & Play functionality powering work right away.

Pods are ready-made, ready to work. Structural rooms are just shells.

Configure. Order. Assemble. Get to work. Specifying and setting up new pods is a breeze. They’re a complete, all-in-one prefabricated solution. They’re highly productive the instant they’re installed

– lends Eliza Donek, Product Manager, Hushoffice.

And they guarantee performance by design.

Brilliant soundproofing and glass/hard wall carcass guarantee immediate privacy and excellent acoustics. Tweakable ventilation and lighting guarantee the user’s immediate environmental comfort. Ergonomic furniture guarantees immediate ease through longer calls, meetings, work sessions, and video conferences. Power modules and desks guarantee immediate focus. Built-in lighting, ventilation, power, and sprinkler provision also means you don’t need to work with building services — rather, your pods or booths come ready to work (literally). In a nutshell, pods are a quick fix, while built rooms still need to be soundproofed, furnished, and complete with the basic systems.

Pods are mobile and/or modular, making your workplace ready for anything. Hard walls are inflexible, limiting what’s possible.

Pods are easy to move around the office space and from building to building. Built rooms don’t budge. Just like any other office furniture, pods come with you should you change spaces. Your investment continues to pay off for you, adding the same essential value, making your new space as productive as your last. Rooms, on the other hand, are left behind, a sunk cost; long-term, your investment into construction pays off for the landlord, not your organization.

Pods are space-efficient, while constructed spaces often lead to wasted space.

Pods are compact, built to accommodate a specific number of people comfortably, no wasted space. And efficient use of space (space optimization and management) is one of the most effective ways to reduce costs.

Modular pods like hushMeet.L can be expanded or sized down to accommodate between 4-8 people perfectly. Such a solution is ideal in an agile workplace with employee needs and spatial parameters always changing. HushTwin is another fix apt for an agile world — it’s a duo pod made of two conjoined fully equipped workspaces taking up roughly 21 sq. ft. of space in total (see product page). Maximum function. Minimal space. All the while facilitating necessary space division or social distance.

And when employees have access to pods in the office, they are no longer forced to hold calls or meetings in limited meeting rooms, using an entire room inefficiently. With hushHybrid at hand, employees no longer need to use a whole conference room for one video call. With hushPhone on-demand, employees no longer need to take the most popular huddle space or step outside to take their call. With hushMeet nearby, small teams no longer need to steal the only large meeting space for their small project team check-ins…

Last but certainly not least, pods also take up less space than their built predecessors. A standard 4-person structural meeting room takes up roughly 100 sq. ft. of space, while the hushMeet 4 person team meeting pod fits within roughly 31.5 sq. ft. A traditional conference room takes up 150 sq. ft. of space, while the hushMeet.L modular conference booth fits within roughly 51-102 sq. ft. depending on its module count (2, 3, or 4). Pods are simply more function per square foot.

Pods are the best privacy solution for open space offices — the only flexible way to give employees a variety of fully private work and meeting environments.

Privacy in the office breaks down into three kinds: acoustic, architectural, and visual. Acoustic privacy is simple: the employee is neither distracted by obtrusive sounds nor concerned about being overheard. Architectural privacy is simple, too: the employee enjoys a sense of security, or privacy, in their immediate space because it physically encloses or separates them to a comfortable level. Visual privacy, just as simple: the employee is neither distracted by the visuals around them nor feels like they’re in a fishbowl and closely or constantly watched.

Pods and booths master all three kinds of privacy. Their acoustics are scientifically perfected (as outlined below), and their physical build artfully encloses the employee(s), giving them a healthy sense of “home” in their space. The rear glass panel on any Hushoffice pod can also be frosted with a matte finish for more visual privacy. The hushHybrid portable video call booth offers an optional semi-opaque sticker covering the front glass panel’s middle section (laptop level). Teams can add their own nontransparent or decorative films to their pod panels, too.

Because each pod is built for an exact number of people, each pod provides wonderful comfort (architectural privacy) for users. Panels and high-backed booths are only semi-enclosed and therefore only semi-private, architecturally. Similarly, they can’t deliver the technically perfect, watertight acoustic environment that pods and booths do because their semi-enclosed design is subject to noise from the open floor.

What’s more, because mobile office pods can be relocated throughout the space so easily, teams can adjust their layout until it achieves the desired level of broad workplace privacy — acoustic, architectural, and visual — for the whole team (those working on the open floor as well as those in pods). By these fundamental marks, pods outperform constructed conference rooms.

Perfect acoustics. Anti-Virus coating. Premium materials. Unparalleled comfort. Fully featured and flexible. Hushoffice pods are a cut above the rest.

Cutting edge soundproofing from Mikomax — experts at acoustics, leaders in agile workplaces. Biophilic (natural) soundscape by design. Focus guaranteed.

Hush pods are designed for a target level of sound most conducive to focus. Think “comfortably quiet.” Each pod dampens all distracting sounds so, inside, open office noise is just a faint hum. This target level of sound is key to their effectiveness — about ~40 dB of diffuse sound is healthy for humans and ideal for work. Their soundproofing is guaranteed by the finest design details like acoustic-lined fabric panels, acoustic-sealed door frames, and acoustic gaskets.

Anti Virus Coating & Constant Ventilation.

All frequently touched surfaces in Hush pods are covered with a nano-photocatalyst coating which prevents the development of viruses and other microbes, making these surfaces virtually sterile. Natural and artificial light catalyzes titanium dioxide in the coating to form a reactive oxygen species which oxidizes viruses, bacteria, and other organic contaminants. The “disinfecting process” is continuous, and the coating is active for months following application. Hush booths are also continually replenished by a constant internal air exchange bringing fresh air in from the open floor. Learn more.

Premium materials

Unparalleled comfort.

Their built-in furniture is also supremely comfortable. HushPhone, the phone booth, is the coziest standing pod for private calls on the market — its ergonomic armrest allows users to lean as natural throughout their conversation, its fold-out laptop table, to work off the laptop as needed. The private phone booth also offers an optional stool.

The HushMeet 4-person office meeting booth, hushMeet.open (a semi-enclosed version of hushMeet), hushMeet.S 2-person meeting pod, hushMeet.open.S (semi-enclosed version of hushMeet.S), hushHybrid video conference call booth, and both workspaces in hushTwin, the twin small office pods all feature 1-2 upholstered benches — sofas that are ergonomically structured and lightly plush, supporting a healthy posture, making longer meetings or work sessions comfortable.

HushHybrid offers a depth-adjustable desk, hushTwin, a full desk in either workspace “half,” and hushWork, a classic sitting desk. HushWork.sit&stand offers a height-adjustable workstation, bringing movement to the desk for sit-stand flow. All “hushMeet” variants mentioned above offer meeting tables. That is, except for the hushMeet.L conference booth pod, which offers an optional conference table instead. All desks and tables are finished in classic white.

Additionally, all indoor office pods in the Hushoffice line are built with adjustable lighting and ventilation, allowing employees to fine-tune their space and enjoy optimal thermal comfort while they work. This means everyone can achieve the desired light level for working and feeling their best. The finishing touch: Italian wool upholstering each pod’s interior, completing a viscerally cozy “feel.” It’s unparalleled comfort, indeed.

Fully featured.

Hush pods can be equipped with a power module (USB Type-A, USB Type-C, RJ45, or electric socket) for convenient Plug & Play connectivity. The hushHybrid video conference pod offers optional video light strips and an optional monitor mount, making it the best pod for video conferencing. All “hushMeet” pod iterations feature a central panel perfectly positioned to hang a monitor for content sharing or video calls, as well as an optional cableway to conceal cables. HushWork and hushWork.sit&stand offer an optional Bluetooth speaker. All to say, pods are truly ready-made, arriving fully furnished and fully featured, ready to go.

The flexibility needed in an agile workplace.

In summary, Hushoffice pods are winners, bonafide assets in an ever-changing world. They’re mobile and/or modular, enabling the high degree of spatial design flexibility needed to accommodate ever-changing needs. And they make work on an open floor “work” again.

Real quick: how do you relocate each pod? The hushHybrid video call pod and hushPhone work phone booth have built-in casters and leveling feet — both can be relocated by push (no disassemble required). The hushMeet.L modular conference booth breaks down into 2-4 modules which can be relocated by pallet jack. All other office booths in the Hushoffice line are built on a frame creating enough space beneath for relocation by pallet jack (again, no disassembly required). Check them all out.
