Jet Cox used for Home Office Innovation

As home-based working becomes standard practice, the new concept of garden offices is taking a firm hold, with York-based Archipod Ltd leading the way with their range of beautiful garden office ‘pods’.

It was imperative that the working environment offered by Archipod was conducive to productivity, health and well-being, so allowing as much natural daylight in as possible was one of the key design factors.

Coxdome Circular Rooflights from Jet Cox were specified as the standard rooflight solution for Archipod, offering an attractive modern design with the robust, reliable functionality synonymous with Coxdome.

The Archipod ‘Pod’ consists of a unique 3m diameter sphere, constructed predominantly from timber and designed to complement the natural garden landscape. A 4m extended model, the FatPod is also available, with both models utilising the benefits offered by Coxdome Circular Rooflights with 900mm and 1800mm diameters respectively. With their sleek contemporary appearance, Circular Rooflights sit perfectly within the spherical pod design, as Managing Director of Archipod, Chris Sneesby explains:

“Given that natural daylight is essential in a healthy work setting, the rooflight was an important consideration in the design of our Pod office buildings. Jet Cox were one of the few suppliers offering a solution that not only looked right, but that offered the right dimensions to suit the size of our pods, at a competitive price.

“The upstands on the Coxdome Circular, worked well with the Pod design, as they place the dome at the correct height to accommodate the shingle cladding and flashings.”

Chris continues:

“We have a long standing working relationship with Jet Cox - they have been with us from the start and we’re now looking forward to a future project which will involve the production of a bespoke rooflight unit to perfectly follow the curvature of the pod.“

Coxdome Circular is available with double, triple or quadruple skins, and a choice of two ventilation options. Glazing is available spherical in Clear, Diffused, Opal or Cool & Clear with manual or electronic opening options.

Manufactured with a double layer GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) with polyurethane insulation, the upstands are compatible with most roofing materials.
