Having built several pods with white walls and minimal interiors, here’s a very different example of what we can do at Archipod:

This is a 3m pod for use as an office, complete with purple walls, woodburning stove, stainless steel bowl sink, dark oak floor and aluminium ‘Spitfire’ Wing desk with hinged storage seat.

The ‘Spitfire’ desk was inspired by some wonderful old aircraft at our local Yorkshire Air Museum, which is just around the corner from our workshop. It is constructed on a timber frame, covered in sections of aluminium that have been cut, bent, hammered, drilled and generally sworn at until we got the right shape, and held together with about a thousand rivets! It includes a storage section that hinges out to form a seat,  file storage below the desk, and cable management threaded through the support frame just like on the original aircraft.

Many thanks to Paul Walker of Paul Walker Images for the superb photos – Paul is now also an Archipod customer, and photos of his pod will be appearing shortly.

Things have been very busy here at Archipod recently, but be have finally found some time to put the promised pictures of the Archipod Demonstrator onto the blog.

This pod was only the third to be built, and has travelled the UK extensively having made appearances at Grand Designs Live, The National Homebuilding and Renovating Show, The Homes and Interiors Scotland Exhibition and Prince Charles’s  START ‘Garden Party to Make a Difference’ Exhibition in London.

This pod was refurbished last year, complete with metallic purple desk, porcelain floor tiles and underfloor heating. It is now sitting very comfortably in a garden in Yorkshire, after being craned over the owners fence from the yard of a very obliging farmer! It is still available for viewing for anyone that would like to see a complete pod near York.

Following the completion of a refit of last years demonstrator pod, we can advise that this has now been sold, complete with custom made shiny desk in purple metalflake finish! Photos of this one will be appearing in the gallery page in the next few weeks.

We are selling our fully fitted ‘Archipod’ 3m garden office demonstrator, as seen at Grand Designs Live, Homebuilding and Renovating Show, HRH START ‘Garden Party to Make a Difference’ and Home and Interiors Scotland Exhibition.

We are offering our demo pod at a big discount off the list price.

The list price of this building is £15,868, and is now offered for sale at £12,000 for this building, which is a saving of £3,868. Please note we are a VAT registered company, and all prices will need to have VAT added.

Pod comes complete with desk, electrics, lighting (including 8 downlights and blue LED striplight), and heating, and is able to be delivered by crane or forklift. Delivery is based on collection, or we can arrange delivery dependent on location, but please contact us for a quotation. This pod is 3.2m diameter overall and can be delivered by crane or forklift.

The building is currently being refurbished in our workshop in North Yorkshire to bring it up to ‘as new’ standard. The desk is included, but if you have preference for a different desk, we can still customise the interior to suit your requirements.
