Dezeen Showroom: Residence Connect is a single-person video booth created by workspace furniture brand Spacestor to support private video conferencing in open-plan offices.
Residence Connect incorporates an adjustable desk, monitor and acoustic insulation to create what Spacestor calls the "ultimate virtual meeting experience".
Residence Connect pods offer privacy in open-plan offices
The booth was developed in response to the rising popularity of video conferencing, which has led to a demand for greater privacy and acoustic control in offices.
Spacestor hopes the pod will help increase capacity and room availability in busy workplaces and allow employees to carry out video calls without distractions.
They can be combined into rows "We all have a new emerging challenge as we gradually return to our workplaces," said Nic Baxter, managing director at Spacestor.
"It's no longer Zoom meetings where everyone's at home but a blended or hybrid situation where some are now back in the office," Baxter continued.
"Electronic noise and half-conversations are very distracting for nearby colleagues and of course some meetings need to be completely private, too. Residence Connect meets all these needs, comfortably."
The pods feature an adjustable desk and monitor
Occupants can personalise the Residence Connect booth by adjusting light levels and airflow alongside the height of the desk and monitor to support both seated and standing positions.
