Upgrade your WFH style

ARE OFFICE PODS THE WAY OF THE FUTURE? As the pandemic wears on, and home offices have become busy multipurpose spaces, an innovative approach began to emerge: the office pod. Think of it as a year-round, pandemic-friendly space just steps away from home. Some designs have floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize natural light, or fireplaces, even climbing walls and fully equipped bathrooms. The work-from-home lifestyle certainly calls for creativity, and this solution offers an office that is on one’s property but detached from the distractions of home. Office pods like this one by Linebox Studio take up very little space and allow guests to adhere to social distancing protocols. Plus they can be used for more than just work — they offer a chic space to unwind with a glass of wine at the end of the day.
