Constructed predominantly from timber, the Archipod is specifically designed to “complement a garden landscape, be efficient, ergonomic, and unusual.”

The Cube Project was originally conceived as an eco-friendly living space home for one person (it contains a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area). But at just 97-square feet of floor area, it could also serve as an easy home-office option.

Scott Lewis Landscape Architecture helped convert this former shed into an ivy-covered painting studio in a San Francisco garden.

Made from locally-sourced timber and glass and clocking in at 160-square feet of space, Spacecraft was inspired by a 19th-century Japanese house at the Huntington Gardens in Pasadena, CA, and the wooden lifeguard towers on the beaches of Malibu.

The UK-designed Archipod looks like it dropped off a rather large tree and landed in your garden. The stand-alone home office is a cedar shingled timber pod with plastered interior walls and a semicircular desk area. There’s also a large skylight and plenty of room for storage.

Looking at Archipod’s website I feel they must have been reading Lifework -here’s a piece from their front page – “The way people work is changing – the cost and inconvenience of commuting to work everyday is increasing, whereas advances in computer and networking technology are making the viability of working from home a realistic alternative to travelling to an office.” Yep. We’d noticed that too. And now we’ve got a lovely timber pod to work from! I’ve contacted the company to see if they ship to the US. Via Mother Nature Network’s Matt Hickman.
