As a professional designer of office interiors, you’re committed to creating inclusive and functional spaces for your clients, including those with team members who have physical disabilities, impairments or are neuro-diverse.
You’re most likely fully aware of the benefits of meeting pod technology for cost-effectively creating sound-proof spaces, but you may have thought they didn’t comply with the DDA regulations.
Did you know one Pod provider in Australia understands DDA requirements and has a range of DDA-compliant pods?
Introducing LaunchPOD's Cube range of meeting pods and rooms
Our extensive range of sound-proof pods, from phone booths to large boardroom spaces, offers all the benefits of flat-packed pods while addressing a wide range of DDA requirements.
Cubes are the only pods in Australia without floors or ramps, yet they still provide the sound-proofing our pods are famous for.
The smooth doorway threshold eliminates any trip hazards generally associated with pods. While the lack of a floor allows our Cubes to create a seamless transition to open areas, integrating the look and feel of your existing office.
Wide Access, Wide Possibilities
Our Cube Range of Pods’ 950mm wide sliding doors allow easy access for wheelchairs and people with mobility issues.
Team members will have no problems opening the doors one-handed, with sliding tracks that require less than the 20N specified by Australian Standard AS 1428.1 clause 13.5.2(e).
Combined with high-contrast door frames with greater than 30% luminance and tactile surfaces, vision-impaired individuals will have no difficulty accessing our pods.
Room to Swing a Wheelchair
Our Cubes Pods are the most extensive range of sound-proof large meeting spaces on the market. With Cubes, you can create a workable meeting space that allows wheelchairs to turn after entry.
The pods have various options, including wall-mounted desks and tables, allowing you to configure optimal DDA-compliant work and meeting spaces.
No Sound, No Stress
We started by minimising noise with sound-proofed pods but haven’t finished improving them. Our Cube and ZUM pods are the only pods that allow you to adjust the environment for neuro-diverse people.
Our fans have adjustable speed controls that allow you to inject white noise or eliminate the hum, balancing fresh air flow and sound sensitivity.
Less Strobe, More Collaboration
Our Zum pod’s environmental controls use flicker-free LEDs no matter what brightness or colour temperature you’ve set.
No flicker means that vision-impaired or neuro-diverse people feel calmer and stress-free in our 5th-generation ZUM pods, enhancing their ability to contribute and collaborate.
Cut the Visual Noise
LaunchPOD is the only provider to offer smart-glass across the full range of pods and Cubes, cutting visual stimulation that neuro-diverse people sometimes find noisy.
Combined with our market-leading sound reduction, our extensive range of pods are the only products to cut both acoustic and visual noise.
Mute the Feeling
Our pods and Cubes come in various colours, fabrics, and textures, allowing you to adjust the visual and tactile ‘fuzziness’ that neuro-diverse people can find irritating.
Combined with our market-leading environmental controls, smart-glass and unique accessibility options, LaunchPOD’s ZUM and Cube’s are lead DDA-compliant pods.
We are living through challenging times - challenging our assumptions on where and how we work.
What we thought we knew about how people use office spaces is being questioned by empowered employees, leaving business owners wondering why they are paying for expensive offices and fit-outs.
At iOctane Pods, we've created a range of fantastic value Meeting Pods and Acoustic Furniture sensibly designed for adaptable work environments.
From video booths to 8-person collaboration spaces, sound-proofed huddles, and meeting Pods, we designed our range of highly customisable products for the flexible offices of the future.Jeremy Ellis
Small business is a powerful concept. By bringing together like-minded people, a business owner can leverage a team around a single purpose and achieve global change and outcomes impossible for just one person.Having worked with corporates in process technology and management consulting for some 25 years, we became frustrated with the slow pace of change and opened up a revolutionary co-working space in Cremorne, Victoria. Working with small business owners meant that we could apply our experience to help see start-ups and small businesses grow and flourish and allowed our team to explore ways to optimise and structure teams on a smaller scale.
By creating amazing workspaces, it was also possible to experiment with office layouts, work zones and having some 70 different businesses in our spaces meant we could develop hands-on experience with developing communities within workspaces, both within one business and between businesses. The last few years of operating businesses through a pandemic has allowed us to bring together this knowledge of team structure and work optimisation, together with workplace design and substantial fit-out project management, to form a team in iOctane which has the ability to help business owners to prepare their teams and workspaces for the future.
iOctane Pods was created as we worked with leading manufacturers to develop a range of Meeting Pods and Acoustic Furniture which will assist businesses, both big and small, in evolving their open plan offices to cater for hybrid workforces, with innovative solutions to bring together teams in new ways to perform their very best work.Why do Pods make sense?With dozens of applications, from sound-proof phonebooth, private or home office, meeting room, rehearsal studio, Zoom/Teams Room or even soundproof games room, our Pods are incredibly versatile. iOctane Pods are designed to provide instant spaces within a commercial office, hospitality, home, warehouse or education environment.
Open plan spaces are important in offices to provide a place to connect and interact, however they can also result in distraction and noise. Our Pods overcome these challenges by providing attractive spaces which separate people from the external environment using sound-proofing technology. The use of quality 14mm laminated tempered glass walls and doors, means that it is possible to remain connected visually to the outside environment.
Adding Pods to an office instead of a fit-out project avoids investing in your Landlord's building, with instant meeting rooms at a fraction of the cost. Financing Pods is easily and you can simply take them with you when you relocate.Why our Pods such great value?We felt that most Meeting Pods were too expensive for the average business, and yet in a post-pandemic world, they have become an essential requirement for every office.
The need for privacy and safety, along with video meetings to connect remote staff and the added requirement to keep larger Meeting Rooms available for Hybrid Team Meetings (when remote staff come in for Collaboration with office staff).
With the success of our openPod, we set out to create an affordable series of sound-proof meeting pods utilising the latest in technology, great design with excellent quality. By partnering with our specialist manufacturers and acoustic specialists, we have achieved the best value on the market today, with full price transparency.
