Extra-Large Pods for Eight or More People
Extra-large pods create spacious meeting and collaboration environments for eight or more people. Often based on modular room-in-room systems, they can provide the function and presence of a modern boardroom without relying entirely on permanent construction.
Gibbsonn can develop extra-large pod solutions with integrated furniture, lighting, ventilation, power, data and audiovisual technology. Selected modular systems can also be divided into smaller spaces, allowing the available area to support more than one activity when a large room is not required.
Discuss your project with our team to explore the possibilities, or book a private visit to our Bishop’s Stortford showroom.
Create a Modern Boardroom Within Your Existing Space
Large teams need somewhere suitable for board meetings, presentations, workshops, training and important customer conversations. However, adding a permanent boardroom can involve extensive work, while an existing meeting room may not provide the flexibility required by a changing organisation.
An extra-large pod creates a substantial room within the wider workplace. It can provide greater privacy and fewer distractions while retaining the visual quality and technology expected from a modern boardroom.
The internal layout can be planned around a large meeting table, presentation area, collaborative furniture or a combination of settings. Acoustically balanced surfaces help control sound and create a comfortable environment for speech without making the room feel sterile or vacant.
These pods can also help organisations make better use of large open areas. They are particularly relevant to offices, headquarters, training facilities, warehouses and other commercial environments where traditional rooms are limited or difficult to accommodate.
Flexible Modular Spaces with Integrated Features
Extra-large pods are commonly created using modular systems that can be configured around the available area and intended number of users. This offers greater freedom over dimensions, doors, glazing, finishes and furniture than a standard fixed-size pod.
Selected systems can incorporate internal partitions or adaptable layouts, allowing one large meeting room to be separated into smaller spaces when required. This could enable simultaneous meetings, focused work or smaller group sessions instead of leaving a large boardroom underused.
The exact method of division will depend on the modular system selected. Access, privacy, ventilation, lighting, technology and escape routes must work correctly in both the open and divided configurations.
Possible features include boardroom tables, chairs, storage, display screens, video-conferencing equipment, cameras, speakers, microphones, lighting controls, power, data connections and room-booking technology. Colours, materials, fabrics, glass and branding can also be coordinated with the surrounding workplace.
Gibbsonn can help bring the architecture, furniture and technology together so the finished space functions as one complete environment.
