Are office pods worth it for hybrid teams?

If your office is open-plan and staff spend office days on video calls, pods are usually the fastest way to add private space without building rooms sized for full attendance.

Can pods be moved if our hybrid pattern changes?

Yes — pods are freestanding and relocatable, so capacity can move floors or buildings as attendance patterns change.

What size pod suits video calls?

A single-person booth covers most calls; a two-person pod suits calls plus one-to-ones and interviews.

Office Pods for Hybrid Working

Hybrid working fails when the office offers nothing home doesn't. Office pods give hybrid teams what open-plan floors lack: private, equipped spaces for Teams and Zoom calls, one-to-ones and focused work — without building permanent rooms for a workforce that isn't in every day.

The video call problem

Open-plan offices weren't designed for a day of back-to-back video calls. A single-person booth gives each call a private space that doesn't disturb colleagues.

Right-sizing for hybrid patterns

Attendance peaks mid-week for most hybrid teams. Because pods are freestanding and relocatable, you can scale and reposition capacity as patterns settle rather than committing to fixed rooms.

What to specify for video calls

Prioritise power and USB-C charging, lighting that flatters on camera, ventilation for back-to-back calls, and a specification suited to speech privacy. Ethernet is available where wired connectivity matters.

Measuring whether it's working

Track how often pods are occupied at peak times. Queues mean add capacity; empty pods mean the mix or placement needs adjusting.

Configuration: Mix P300, P400, P500, P600 and P700 units to create tailored footprints and shapes
Bespoke: Bespoke sizes considered to suit your brief — contact us
Joined internal space: Open joins remove the adjoining shell walls and can increase usable space. Final clear area depends on layout and partitions.
Unit height: 2.40m external / 2.16m internal
Storeys: Up to two storeys, subject to final project design
Delivery: UK mainland and Northern Ireland — transport quoted separately

Adacon modular buildings use P300, P400, P500, P600 and P700 units with external lengths of 2.9m, 3.9m, 4.9m, 5.9m and 6.9m, a common 2.2m width and 2.40m external / 2.16m internal height. The sizes can be combined to create more tailored floor areas and building shapes, joined side by side or stacked to two storeys subject to the final project design.
