Flexible pod solutions for work, rest and life
The flexible office space market in Australia is growing rapidly. According to Mordor Intelligence, the industry is expected to expand from USD 1.29 billion in 2025 to USD 1.89 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual rate of 7.84%.
At the same time, workplaces are evolving. Employees want more than desks and meeting rooms. They want calm, design-led spaces where they can focus, reset and reconnect. That’s why Bureau Booths is partnering with Elsewhere Pods to create private, purpose-built office pods that bring nature, functionality and thoughtful design together.
Why workplaces need pods outside the walls
Today’s office is no longer confined indoors. Teams are hybrid, property costs are rising and wellbeing is top of mind. Modular pods offer a smart way to expand without the complexity of building renovations.
Here’s why offices across Australia are integrating pod spaces outdoors:
- Hybrid habits: Workers are spending less time at desks and more time in flexible environments. Pods give them a dedicated retreat to focus or unwind.
- Cost-efficient expansion: Pods turn underused outdoor areas into productive space without adding permanent structures.
- Boosted wellbeing: Research shows that access to natural environments reduces stress and improves productivity.
A view worth designing around: The Darwin pod
A standout example is the custom 8m x 3m Elsewhere Pod built for a commercial campus in Darwin, Northern Territory.
Surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, the pod was installed as an executive breakout space with full-height glass walls, acoustic treatment and premium Bureau Booth finishes. It now serves as a place for team leaders to take meetings, work privately or step away from the day-to-day, all without leaving the property.
Bureau Booths x Elsewhere Pods: The partnership
This collaboration brings together the best of both brands.
- Design integrity: Bureau Booths ensures every pod includes professional-grade insulation, acoustic comfort and clean architectural lines.
- Tailored configurations: Pod sizes from 2.7m to 12m, with options for single or double width, allow companies to choose what fits best.
- Multi-functional use: From meditation rooms to phone booths, team breakout areas or guest spaces. These pods flex to your needs.
- Not just for offices: You’ll find our pods in backyards, eco-stays and tiny home sites. Wherever people need space to pause, they work.
