The new reality of a hybrid workplace means virtual meetings are rapidly increasing. However most workspaces are simply not designed for the virtual experience. Enter Residence Connect, the only video pod designed from the ground up with every detail created to optimise the sustained video call experience, for all staff. It's the result of a 2 year development journey with one of the world’s leading global tech companies: audio and visual privacy, controllable light levels and ventilation, height-adjustable working position and working space all tested and honed to provide optimum user experience. Careful consideration has been given to service routing, maintenance and M&E needs with patented airflow technology, integrated service voids and removable access panels. Employee protection and sustainability is catered for with all materials being LBC Red List Compliant, no added formaldehyde and patented PVC-free acoustic seals. So there we have it.

The Distraction of One-sided Conversations

Only hearing half of a conversation is proven to be far more distracting than a dialogue between two people. This is because our brains constantly try to predict the inaudible other half of the conversation, hindering our ability to focus. It’s not uncommon to see a whole meeting room in use for a video conversation, whilst this removes distractions from the open space, the misuse of a large meeting room reduces the spatial capacity for face-to-face collaboration in the workspace. A sound-proof pod is a perfect, space-efficient solution to this growing trend. However, most pods have primarily been designed for quiet focus work. A pod designed for communication is quite diﬀerent. Not only does the acoustic quality of the pod need to be optimized, but so do the finishes of the interior, support the visual representation of all people on camera, regardless of skin tone and clothing choice.
