How Google Turned an Open Corner into Three Private Phone Booths—in One Afternoon
When the facilities team at Google’s APAC hub needed private call space, they didn’t want drywall dust or weeks of permitting. They wanted something turnkey that blended with their brand palette, arrived on a pallet, and just worked.
They chose three PrivacyPod S Pods. The pods rolled off the freight elevator at 8 a.m.; by 4 p.m. engineers were already taking Zoom calls inside.
Why the S Pod Fit the Brief
- Plug-and-play deployment—each booth rolls into place, plugs into a standard outlet, and powers up.
- Verified acoustic privacy—STC-30 performance keeps IP-sensitive conversations from leaking into the open floor.
- Custom aesthetics—matte charcoal frames and soft-coral interior felt echo Google’s accent colors, while a 60 percent frosted film shields laptop screens.
- Occupancy lights—green means free, red means busy; no app, no guessing.
Inside the Booths
Every pod includes a perching stool, a laptop ledge, dual silent fans, dimmable LED lighting, and a power module with AC, USB-A, and USB-C ports. Engineers can run a quick stand-up, settle in for a longer sprint review, or jump onto a video call without hunting for a free meeting room.
Results One Month Later
By shifting six calls an hour out of conference rooms, the pods freed larger spaces for true group work. Badge-sensor data shows better than ninety-percent daily utilization, and employees report spending less than five minutes finding a quiet spot—down from fifteen.
Thinking About Pods for Your Workspace?
The S Pod delivers a fully equipped, one-square-meter refuge that installs in hours and costs a fraction of a traditional build-out. Explore finishes, specs, and pricing on the product page, or email info@privacypod.ai to request volume pricing and complimentary color samples.
Quiet space shouldn’t be a construction project. With PrivacyPod, it’s a delivery appointment.
