Office Pods
Call, Work & Meet in Acoustic Office Pods
Office pods are acoustically treated, fully enclosed rooms that drop into your existing floorplan. They give people somewhere to take a call, hold a meeting or concentrate without being overheard, and without building work or planning permission. Many of our office pods are tested to ISO 23351-1:2020, the industry standard for speech reduction.
Our enclosed pods range from small single-person telephone and video-conferencing booths through to mini focus pods with built-in desking. Our medium-sized team meeting and huddle pods can be fitted with comfortable seating and tables. The larger modular meeting and boardroom pods fit 6 to 8 people and can be configured with meeting tables, loose chairs or sofas, alongside accessories such as Smart TVs and presentation boards to make your working day easier.

The challenge: Open-plan offices drive collaboration and communication, but they come with a cost: noise, distraction and nowhere to make a private call or concentrate on focused work. Employees interrupt each other, meetings lack privacy, and video conferences suffer from background noise. Traditional solutions — building meeting rooms or dividing the floor with fixed partitions — mean construction downtime, cost and inflexibility when your team changes.
The solution: Urban Office acoustic pods are a different approach. Relocatable, sound-absorbing rooms that sit within your existing layout, providing private space for calls, meetings and focused work without building work, planning permission or downtime. Many of our pods are tested to ISO 23351-1:2020, the global benchmark for speech privacy (read more), so you're choosing based on independent acoustic data, not marketing claims. Install them today, move them tomorrow, and adapt your space as your team grows.
Compare Office Pods by Use & Size
Small Office Pods
Size: Compact footprint
Users: 1 to 2
Used for:
- Private phone calls
- Video conferencing
- Short bursts of focused work
- Quick escapes from the open-plan floor without booking a meeting room
Small office pods are designed for private phone calls, video conferencing and concentrated work. These acoustic pods let users escape the open floor for focus or privacy without booking a meeting room. Ideal when call privacy is non-negotiable and you need quiet space within arm's reach of the main office.
Medium-sized Pods
Size: Medium footprint
Users: Up to 4
Used for:
- Manager's offices
- Prayer rooms
- Printer stations
- Dedicated wellbeing spaces
- Video conferencing and presentations
Medium-sized meeting pods strike a balance between individual focus and small group collaboration. They're flexible enough to serve as a quiet manager's office, a prayer or wellbeing retreat, or an informal huddle space for quick team catch-ups. Larger than single-person booths but smaller than full meeting rooms, 4-person office pods fit naturally into active workspace layouts without dominating floor space.
Large Meeting Pods
Size: Large footprint
Users: 6–8+
Used for:
- Break rooms
- Boardroom and meetings
- Group discussions and workshops
- Video conferencing and presentations
- Activity and wellness rooms
Large meeting pods work as dedicated meeting spaces, training rooms or break areas — giving teams a private, enclosed environment for bigger discussions without relying on traditional fixed meeting rooms. The generous size means comfortable seating, integrated tables and space for presentation equipment or breakout activities. Ideal for organisations that need flexible, relocatable meeting spaces that can adapt as your workspace evolves.
All three are modular, relocatable and install without building work. Acoustic performance (Class A/B testing) varies by product — see how acoustic classes compare. All sizes can be customised with integrated furniture, power and technology.
Why Choose Our Office Pods?
Acoustic Performance
Many of our pods meet ISO 23351-1:2020, the industry benchmark for speech privacy, so performance is independently tested, not just claimed.
No Planning Permission
Classed as furniture rather than fixed construction, our pods can be installed without planning permission or building work.
Relocation & Flexibility
Built-in castors and modular sections make it easy to move pods or reconfigure your space as your team grows.
Integrated Furniture & Technology
From TV brackets and whiteboards to charging points and built-in desks, pods can be fitted to suit how your team works.
Accessibility Options
Our accessibility pods feature extra-wide doors, flush thresholds, and folding tables and seating for inclusive workspaces.
Quick Installation
As freestanding furniture, office pods and booths are usually fitted within hours, not days, with no construction delays, mess or extended downtime.
Showroom Availability
Many pods can be viewed and tested in UK showrooms, so you can experience the build and acoustic quality first-hand.
From Site Survey to Installation
All pod and booth enquiries start with a question about what will actually fit, and how many pods are required for the team size. Once indicative pricing and quantities are discussed, we can produce a 3D layout including an interactive design you can look around before committing, carry out a site survey, and then quote delivery and installation separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Lead times vary by product, so each product page carries its own indicative lead time, including stock options where they exist.
Site Survey
A site survey can mean a visit — usually on larger projects that need project management and a hands-on approach — or working from your own layouts, photos, videos and dimensions, whichever is viable for the project.
The checks are the same either way: getting the pod into the building, ceiling height, the installation space itself and the clearance around the pod for airflow, access and parking for the fitting team, power, and any HVAC or sprinkler systems that have to be worked around. It is what makes sure the pod works in the space and that the installation runs without surprises on the day.
Layout and Design
We place your chosen pods into your floor plan and send back a 3D model you can open in a browser, scroll around and zoom in. There is also an option for an AR (Augmented Reality) link, so you can hold up your device in the room and see the pod standing where it would go. Both are free and come with no obligation.
Custom Finishes
Aluminium pods come in a range of RAL colours held by the manufacturer; anything outside that list is quoted separately, as the factory has to order the paint in. Upholstered pods run to hundreds of fabrics across several upholstery manufacturers, giving a choice of thousands of colours at a range of price points. Vinyl wrapping suits aluminium and glazed pods, either in a single colour to meet your branding or as printed graphics to your own artwork, and is applied on site once the pod is installed. Some pods can also be clad with a wood or laminate exterior to fit into your workspace design.
Understanding Acoustic Testing Standards
ISO 23351-1:2020 measures how much speech a pod reduces — typically 30–33dB for Class A and 25–30dB for Class B — which lets you compare pods on the same basis. Where a pod is rated under the older building standards instead, the figures aren’t directly comparable.
Our knowledge guide explains what the ISO classes mean, how many pods an office needs and what drives the price, including a sizing calculator.
