The "Grotto" Pod

Introducing the "Grotto" Pod — a truly enchanting and distinctive retreat inspired by mystical hideaways and hidden grottos...

With its unique design, this pod invites intrigue and curiosity from the first glance. From the outside, the sloped roof descends from left to right, creating a one-of-a-kind silhouette that sets it apart. The pod also features charming circular windows, adding a whimsical touch, and its fully curved side walls form semi-circles at both ends, resembling an entrance to a hidden world.

The "Grotto" is more than just eye-catching. Inside, the quirky design continues with sloping ceilings and curved walls, giving it a cosy yet spacious feel that defies expectations. Despite its compact footprint, the pod boasts a generous internal area of 5.6m², offering ample room for multiple creative layouts and configurations.

Library Pod

The Grotto Pod - Library Configuration brings a touch of enchantment to any educational setting.

Originally crafted as an outdoor book display, this unique pod reimagines the library experience, making it perfect for schools, community spaces, or creative learning environments that inspire curiosity.

An Open and Airy Design to Inspire Exploration

Breaking convention, this library pod features an open-front design that allows fresh air and natural light to flow through, creating an inviting space for readers and learners alike. The walls are thoughtfully lined with multiple rows of shelves, seamlessly spanning from left to right and providing ample space to showcase books and materials.

In the centre, an additional row of shelving divides the pod, allowing for creative organisation—perhaps fiction on one side and non-fiction on the other, or custom sections to fit the needs of your community.

Versatile Options for Every Climate

While this open design was originally crafted as a one-of-a-kind project for a client in Southern France, we recognise that weather conditions in other regions, such as the UK, may call for modifications.

For those seeking a cosier indoor feel, the pod can be customised with a front wall and door, protecting books and readers from the elements while preserving the Grotto Pod’s unique aesthetic.

Inside, the layout can be tailored with versatile options, including shelving on one side and comfortable benches or reading nooks on the other. For an added touch of convenience, there’s even space for a small coffee or tea station—creating the perfect blend of relaxation and focus.

Practical Features for a Seamless Reading Experience

To enhance functionality, this library pod can be equipped with wall-mounted lights, ensuring ample illumination for reading and studying. Additional windows at the front or back can be added to allow natural light to filter in, preserving the bright, airy atmosphere.

The possibilities are vast: we can configure the pod to suit your unique needs, whether that’s creating dedicated reading zones, study areas, or a vibrant community library.
