OMG! I have a HUMONGOUS Backyard and could see this go into it. The OfficePOD is a room at your house for you to work. You can put the OfficePOD in the Garage, in the front yard, in the back yard, on the roof, or wherever you choose.
An enclosed cubicle in your house might just be the answer you are looking for to get out of the office. There is apparently a power outlet, but no wired phone or data outlets: they expect you to run wireless on that aspect.
It’s an enclosed cubicle, so the elements wont get to what’s inside. The site says it comes with a “secure locking system of the highest quality” – whatever THAT means. Don’t really see a key hole anywhere, but it might be hidden by the space-age design.
Um, in thinking about it, the summers can get pretty hot and the winters pretty cold. I don’t see an AC or heater attachment. Maybe you schlep it into the Garage during the cold months.
They do say that they reduce CO2 emissions if you use a OfficePOD (46 to 67%). You will also save yourself money from the daily commute to work. It is an isolated environment, therefore you will have privacy even if junior is running the lawnmower (to a point).
It’s a neat idea, but looks like a glorified shed. Star trek fans might like the look, but you’ll need around $7000 to lease the unit. Oh yeah – it’s also in the UK, so you might have to wait if you are in the States.
