When a client wants to add extra space to their home or business, whether driven by a need for extra space or a change in personal circumstances, we understand how important it is that the space functions the way they want it to.
Therefore, our technical design is just as important as the aesthetic design.
Our goal is to enhance our clients’ available space by having a full functioning, year-round, purpose-built extra room(s). The environment inside the pod shouldn’t change with the weather.
With our innovative use of insulated materials, vapour control layers and insulated building fabrics combined with high standards of workmanship, we have been able to produce pods that not only meet current building standards of insulation conformity…. but beat them!
Our standard wall make-up consists of 10 layers of fabric, from the stunning cedar or larch cladding all the way to the internal finish using the best available insulation materials.
This approach sets us apart from our competitors. We focus just as much on the science to ensure your pod has a long and fulfilling life ahead. Our pods will look beautiful year after year. Our pods will be a much-loved and cost saving retreat all year round.
Our pods are a winning combination of great design and smart technology. What’s not to love?
A typical example of our thermal value calculations and how they fair against current building standards. (remember, the lower the figure the better)
