Accessible Pods

Design Inclusive Workspaces with Accessible Office Pods

Accessible office pods provide barrier-free, private spaces that prioritise dignity, comfort, and inclusivity. Designed specifically for wheelchair users and those with mobility or sensory challenges, these pods help eliminate physical barriers in modern workplaces. Their quiet, enclosed environments also serve as essential sanctuaries in busy or open-plan offices.

Meeting strict EU accessibility standards, they are an ideal solution for fostering workplace equality across Europe. Tailored to accommodate a range of physical and sensory needs, these pods encourage independence in professional environments. Accessible pods support hybrid work models and flexible office layouts and help organisations stay ahead of EU regulatory compliance.

What Is an Accessible Office Pod?

An accessible office pod is a freestanding, self-contained unit that combines ergonomic design with universal access principles. Each pod includes extra-wide doors, low entry thresholds, and an internal turning radius that allows for comfortable wheelchair manoeuvrability. Controls for lighting, ventilation, and power are all positioned within easy reach, ensuring maximum usability. Built to European accessibility standards, these pods promote both functionality and fairness in shared workspaces.

Inclusive Design for Enhanced Productivity

The interior is optimised for quiet focus and reduced distractions, with acoustic insulation and soft lighting as standard. These pods are not only functional—they offer a calming environment that supports concentration and mental wellbeing. They help neurodiverse individuals avoid overstimulation while giving mobility-impaired users full autonomy. A workplace with accessible pods is a workplace that empowers all.

Why Accessibility Is Essential in EU Office Design

Providing accessible pods is more than a legal requirement—it’s a strategic advantage for modern organisations. By complying with EU equality legislation, businesses protect themselves from potential litigation while enhancing their brand image. Inclusive design also fosters employee loyalty, particularly among disabled or neurodiverse workers. These changes create a culture where everyone is given equal opportunity to thrive.
