Case Studies

Four builds, four stories.

Home office pod interior with desk, sofa, and guitar, Sydney
Case Study 01 / Backyard Office / Sydney NSW

James T., Surry Hills

"I budgeted for a renovation and nearly had a heart attack at the quotes. The pod cost less than half and I was in it six weeks after ordering."

James works in digital marketing and needed a dedicated home office away from the main house. He went with the standard single pod and added built-in shelving and an extra GPO for monitor setups.

Case Study 02 / Garden Studio / Melbourne VIC

Sarah K., Brighton

"The glass walls let in so much light. I teach pilates in there five days a week and clients comment on it every single class."

Sarah runs a private reformer pilates studio from her garden. She added premium timber flooring, a mirrored end wall, and a dedicated split-system for back-to-back class days.

Case Study 03 / Home Gym / Perth WA

Craig M., Subiaco

"Delivery to Perth was the one thing I was nervous about. It showed up on time, nothing damaged, driver was great. Whole process was easy."

Craig converted a narrow side yard into a home gym. He opted for solid panel walls on two sides to allow for cable machines and storage, keeping the glass front for ventilation and light.

Case Study 04 / Airbnb / Sunshine Coast QLD

Mel and Dan F., Noosa Hinterland

"Booked solid for eight months. Guests go crazy for the glass walls and the bush outlook. It paid for itself in the first year."

Mel and Dan added a full bathroom pod, kitchenette, and a queensize bed nook. Privacy-tinted glass on the bedroom end keeps the light without sacrificing comfort for guests.

★★★★★

"The build quality is much better than I expected at this price point. The glass is thick, the doors slide perfectly, and the insulation keeps it cool even in our hot Brisbane summers."

Tom R. / Brisbane QLD / Home Office
★★★★★

"We linked two pods together for a treatment room and waiting area. The team were helpful from the first call and the custom quote was back in a day. Very happy."

Priya S. / Adelaide SA / Therapy Practice
★★★★★

"We were a bit nervous ordering something this big sight unseen, but the display visit put us at ease. Six weeks later it was in the backyard and we have not looked back."

Liz and Mark A. / Canberra ACT / Guest Room
★★★★★

"Smart LED lighting, power outlets where I needed them, and a solid Wi-Fi signal through the glass. Works perfectly as a recording setup. Sound is better than my old treatment room."

Luke D. / Byron Bay NSW / Podcast Studio
★★★★★

"Delivery was smooth. Driver called ahead, knew the access situation before he arrived, and had it unloaded in under three hours. The crane placement was impressive to watch."

Ben H. / Ballarat VIC / Art Studio
★★★★★

"I run NDIS therapy sessions and needed a private, calm space separate from the house. This was exactly right. Clients say it feels professional and welcoming at the same time."

Angela K. / Gold Coast QLD / NDIS Therapy
