M Pod

Market pricing for 2-person “micro meeting rooms” starts around $7,500 for thin-wall imports and climbs past $18,000 for glass-and-oak European brands. The PrivacyPod M Pod sits squarely in the value-premium tier at $9,995 freight-paid—a figure that already includes triple-fan ventilation, dimmable 4 000 K LEDs, motion-activated outlets, and your choice of four furniture kits. Because we manufacture in an ISO-9001 plant and sell factory-direct, the number you see is the number you pay—no dealer mark-ups, no designer commissions. Build the same 60 sq ft drywall room with glazing and IT rough-in and you’ll spend 40–60 % more once permits, trades, and patch-paint are tallied—plus you can’t roll that room onto the truck when your lease is up.

Return on investment lives at the intersection of acoustic performance, space efficiency, and lifecycle flexibility. Independent tests rate the M Pod at STC 30 dB, enough privacy for HR or finance meetings, while claiming just < 22 sq ft of floor area. A 2024 CBRE workplace study found that meeting rooms of any size are occupied by exactly two people 38 % of the time; swap that over-built six-seater for one M Pod and you free up 40+ sq ft for new workstations before the fiscal year closes. Because the booth disassembles without permits and reassembles in under an hour, the asset moves with you when the company scales or the lease changes—protecting your CapEx over a 10-year horizon.

Open-plan offices were great for impromptu chats—until video calls took over. A 2023 Leesman Index report notes that 62 % of employees cite noise as the top barrier to productivity. Every minute spent pacing the hallway for a quiet corner is paid for twice: in lost focus and in misused square footage. A dedicated privacy pod provides an always-available “acoustic backstop,” letting teams co-present over Zoom, review prototypes, or dive into heads-down work without monopolizing a full conference room—or worse, the stairwell. And because the M Pod ships flat and rebuilds without drywall, it travels with you when the company graduates from 5,000 sq ft to 50,000 sq ft.

Three converging forces. Hybrid work means at least one teammate is on camera at any given moment, creating a spike in demand for enclosed spaces sized for pairs. Well-being standards (WELL v2, LEED for Interiors) now measure acoustic comfort, nudging organizations to add quiet zones that don’t require demolition. And sustainability mandates are pushing firms toward relocatable, low-carbon solutions; Columbia University’s Center for Buildings found modular pods can cut embodied carbon by up to 30 % over a 10-year span versus fixed drywall. Layer in a tight labor market—where talent weighs workplace experience heavily—and it’s clear why two-seat pods have moved from “nice-to-have” to “must-have” in forward-thinking offices.

Think of the M Pod as micro-architecture on wheels. Each unit arrives flat-packed, rolls through a standard doorway, and goes from crate to fully functioning huddle room in well under an hour. Five structural layers—steel, MDF, mass-loaded vinyl, high-density PET insulation, and wool-felt finish—create a rigid 30 dB acoustic shell, while front and rear are laminated safety glass for daylight and a polished backdrop on camera. Inside you pick the use-case: stools with a café table for quick stand-ups, an two corner benches and table for coaching sessions, a swivel chair–plus-desk workstation, or our privacy couch for longer strategy dives. Because everything is furniture-grade and factory-certified, you skip permits, drywall dust, and six-figure construction bills—yet gain a dedicated two-seat enclave the moment you plug it in.

The M Pod claims just under 22 sq ft (≈2 m²) of floor—roughly the footprint of two side-by-side desks—yet still gives you full standing headroom:

Exterior: 63 in W × 54.1 in D × 91.6 in H
Interior: 57.6 in W × 52.6 in D × 84.5 in H

That’s plenty for any of the four furniture kits plus a 34 in monitor on the optional fabric back wall. Planning rules of thumb: leave 3 in behind for airflow, 48 in in front for the door swing, and a standard 120 V outlet within the included 8-ft cord.

Third-party labs testing to ISO 23351-1 rate the M Pod at STC 30 dB (±3 dB). In plain English, a 70 dB hallway conversation is hushed to about 40 dB—library quiet—once the door is closed, while your call leaks out as an indistinct murmur. That balance keeps speech private without creating the “dead-room” sensation that fatigues users. Acoustic performance comes from the multi-layer wall assembly plus full-height perimeter gaskets that seal shut like a studio door.

The booth runs off a single 15-amp, 120-V wall circuit. Standard inside are (2) tamper-resistant AC outlets, USB-A and USB-C fast-charge ports, a motion-sensing LED strip, and triple silent fans that exchange the air every 60 seconds. Need hardline connectivity? Add our Ethernet port kit; the patch panel sits flush behind the desk so you can plug in laptops or large displays without snaking cables through the threshold. When it’s time to move offices, the M Pod flat-packs back onto its original pallet in under 2 hours and ships out on any standard box truck—no drywall demo, no landlord friction, just plug-and-play privacy wherever you land.
