Archipod

archipod 1

The Archipod is a new concept in backyard office design. With the increase in technology and the rise in traffic and travel costs, perhaps a backyard office is just the place for you to get your work done without feeling trapped in your house all day.

Archipod offers workers an alternative to office work. Designed around the idea that a garden building should become part of the garden landscape, Archipod’s “pod” office is unique to other garden office designs in that it consists of a 3m-diameter sphere rather than a conventional square box. The structure is prefabricated in sections that are sized to allow all the parts to be carried through a house, so it doesn’t matter where you live — they’ll be able to get it into your garden.

There are power outlets, data ports, electric heat, and natural light and ventilation. Additionally, because of its unique shape and the generous natural light from the roof dome, it actually looks bigger on the inside than the outside. See for yourself.

  1. Wow! This looks absolutely beautiful on the outside and the workspace inside looks really serene and calming. I have to get one of these on my wish list. Everyone should have an archipod!

  2. I love this and wish that I was in one right now as I work from home. What a beautiful space and for someone like me who can get easily distracted great to be a few steps away from my home space.
    Lovely website, glad that I found you…I will be back
    WIll be sharing this with others at smartlifeways.com.

  3. Awesome!! Great environment for work :D

  4. Very nice, just don’t like that Mac hardware in there.

    Designed by someone who loves their Mac. No thanks.

    White walls feel like an institution to me. The Bad Kind.

  6. As an architect this looks neat, but where do you store your stuff? How do you hang book shelves to hold your books? A regular file cabinet will not sit flush against the wall. I guess if all you need to conduct business is a mac computer and some flowers, you’re in great shape.

  7. well it looks terrible, who would want that in their garden, especially in these times of recession? A waste of money £12,000! People will always need to commute to work and if this is put near a public highway you WILL need planning permission.

  8. Archipod………….Archiwaste! What a terrible piece of junk! I am getting tired of these gimmick-kind of bullshit design.
    Get a real job or waste your time and money on something else

  9. Personally, I would love to go work in the garden every day since I work from home. I feel very cooped up in the house, and it would be nice to get out of it for 8-10 hours a day instead of spending all 24 in the same space.

  10. Very creative, very artistic.

  11. I love the concept, and I truly appreciate the idea because I work from home as well.

    Apparently some of the people here would of like to see a huge pc with lots of microsoft stickers? – These photos are intended to show a clutter-free environment, but you can always fill it up with cheap furniture, britney spears posters and a smelly cat.

  12. its innovative…but its kinda conjstd…nd im not gettn ny idea abt d storage space..usually an office space must b cool in nature..lyk it shd b simple in its plan..
    nd in dis design he hd used circular plan wch may create disfomfort for the person who is using it…
    especially physical discomfort…
    bt its really creative

  13. Nice,clean and bright inside, conducive to peace and quiet. The isolation is good for those of us who want to think without interruption.It is good to see a concept materialize.
