Layout and Configuration of Meeting Pods
In the world of workplace design, there has been the increased effectiveness of meeting pods as a concept to encourage collaboration and work efficiency. Meeting pods are, small, enclosed spaces ideal for sitting small numbers of people for conversations, brainstorming or even the casual team huddle. However, the design and the way meeting pods are set up are important factors in increasing their utility and comfort for people.
Among the critical issues in designing meeting pods is striking the right ratio between the level of privacy and the openness needed. This is because, while there is a desire to have a closeness with the rest of the office, some level of privacy is required so that conversations made and information shared is secure. To achieve this purpose, meeting pods are usually made from semi-transparent or carved glass which allows light to enter whilst hiding the view.
As meeting pod systems are supposed to be in a shape that fits a large variety of gatherings, the interior structure should be highly adjustable. For instance, instead of having fixed chairs and tables, movable ones can easily allow a change in the configuration for the number of participants or purposeful nature of the meeting. Also, as there are power and data ports fixed within the structure, it provides easy access to charge and connect devices thus supporting the working environment.
At Noiseless Nook, we take the opportunity to customize our meeting pods configurations to serve various requirements of the office. For instance, our 6 Person Pod is built considering the large head counts within a meeting room while ensuring that privacy is not compromised. Its soundproofing features protect sensitive conversations even in an open plan office environment.
Or, if you have a smaller team, or are looking to have a close setting, our 4 Person Pod is the perfect solution. It is ideal for a sit-down meeting for a few people and even perfect for project reviews, since the moderate size can easily fit anywhere in the office.
No two offices have the same needs, and hence we have portable meeting pods that don’t require any extra wrap around. This helps them fit within an already established office design without high degree of alteration and permanent fixtures.
