Soundproof office pods for Adelaide workplaces. No builder. No permit. No lease variation.
15 minutes. We price your space. No obligation, no sales sequence.
Working from home gave everyone a door. Open plan took it back. A pod returns it, and stops sound both ways: one loud call moves inside, the whole floor gets quieter. Glass, not plasterboard.
for the people around a loud call to get back to full focus. Every time.
Mark, Gudith & Klocke, UC Irvinein a typical open-plan office. It isn’t the volume that breaks focus. It’s that you can make out the words.
Typical measured range 60–70 dB(A)quieter inside. A colleague talking a metre away drops to about the level of a whisper. Your voice does the same on the way out.
Class B, ISO 23351-1. Tested by SGS, April 2026You probably need one if:
Not phone booths. Every ZUO is a soundproof office pod you can hold a real meeting in, with enough air to last an hour without opening the door.
1–2 people · 1600 × 1310 × 2310 mm · 2.1 m²
Kills the “can we grab a room?” problem. Desk, two seats, in the footprint of two desks.
2 people · 2305 × 920 × 2310 mm · 2.1 m²
Two seats facing across a table. The 1:1, the interview, the conversation you don't want overheard. Only 920 mm deep, so it lives against a wall.
4 people · 2305 × 1700 × 2310 mm · 3.9 m²
A real four-person meeting room. Two twin sofas, a proper table, and twin fans so hour four feels like hour one.
Delivered and installed in metropolitan Adelaide. Furniture, freight and install are in the quote, never added at the end.
Send us a photo of the space. We’ll tell you which pod fits and where it should go.
The core is aluminium honeycomb, the structure used in aircraft floors: rigid for its weight, and it doesn't resonate. Six layers. The surface feels like furniture. What's behind it behaves like an instrument case.
The quote is the amount that leaves your account. Furniture, freight, install and fit-out are in it, not added once you’ve committed.
Table and seating matched to the model, not a generic stool. Carpet, lighting, ventilation and power fitted at the factory.
Not kerbside. Not “ground floor only”. Into the room it’s going in, and the packaging leaves with us.
Built, levelled, plugged in, tested, door adjusted. You get a working room, not a pallet and an Allen key.
One standard 10A GPO. No electrician, no switchboard work, no building services application.
An asset, not a fit-out. Reconfigure, relocate or sell it on. It goes with you either way.
A rattle, a noisy fan, a flickering light: you call someone in Adelaide who can turn up, not an inbox overseas.
Not included, and we'll say so up front: upper floors without lift access, and after-hours delivery. Priced before you sign, not after.
An open office runs 60–70 dB. Inside a ZUO it reads like a quiet library, about 35 dB. Speech doesn't carry in. And the part HR cares about: it doesn't carry out.
Measured on the ZUO L by SGS, report SDHL260300516801HI. Ask and we’ll send all five pages before you buy, not a summary line.
We’ll send all five pages of the SGS report, and walk you through what the number means.
A pod shouldn’t look like plant equipment parked on your floor. Eight finishes, each with a matched acoustic interior. All stocked standards: same price, same lead time.
Not a cost line. The cheapest square metre of meeting room you'll ever buy, and the only one you can take with you.
Illustrative and deliberately conservative. Assumes 5 hours lost per person per week, and 18 recovered per pod. We’ll build the real case, with your numbers, on the call.
The CFO takes an hour in the L. The floor doesn’t hear the board. The board doesn’t hear the floor.
Two people facing each other, door closed, in the SL. Not held in a stairwell or put off for a month.
They stop shouting over the floor, and the floor stops hearing the pitch. Both sides win.
Three interviewers and a candidate in the L. What gets said in there stays in there.
Lights to 2700K, door shut, ten minutes. For some people that’s the difference between finishing the day and going home.
A practice space that doesn’t carry down the corridor. Put three in a hall and you have a music department.
Dimmable to 2700K, quiet, and visible from outside. Somewhere to regulate without leaving the room.
Speech therapy, reading recovery, wellbeing check-ins. Private enough for the conversation, open enough to satisfy supervision policy.
A quiet, consistent space for assessments and adjustments, without booking out a classroom for the afternoon.
Teachers get somewhere to take it that isn’t the staffroom, the car park, or a corridor full of students.
Glass on the front, so line of sight is never compromised. Ask about education configurations.
Our pod was measured to ISO 23351-1:2020, the international standard for enclosure speech level reduction, by SGS, in the acoustic laboratory at South China University of Technology. Ask for the report and you get all five pages, before you buy.
Most suppliers print a decibel figure with no standard behind it. If you're comparing us against one, ask them for theirs.
The questions buyers actually ask us, with real answers. If yours isn’t here, ask.
It depends on the model and how hard your building is to get into, so we quote rather than guess. What we can tell you now: the number always includes furniture, freight and installation, so nothing gets added at the end. Book a 15-minute call and you’ll have a firm figure the same day.
No. A ZUO is freestanding. It doesn’t fix to the floor, walls or ceiling, so it’s treated as furniture rather than building work and needs no council or planning approval. Check your lease for landlord conditions, which is usually a formality.
No. The pod runs from one standard 10A power point. No switchboard work, no hard wiring, no building services application.
Ours measures 29.4 dB speech level reduction, Class B under ISO 23351-1, tested by SGS. In practice: someone talking normally a metre outside drops to about the level of a whisper. Ask for the report and we’ll send all five pages before you buy.
It arrives flat-packed, not assembled, which is what makes access work. Send us your lift internal dimensions, the narrowest point on the route from the dock, and the ceiling height where it’s going. We confirm access before you order, not on delivery day.
Pods are built to order and shipped from the factory, so this isn’t a next-day product. Ask when you enquire and we’ll give you a date rather than a range, and we’ll tell you if something slips.
Yes. That’s the point of one. No floor fixings and no building work, so it moves within the floor, moves buildings with you, and stays on your asset register instead of being written off with the fit-out.
Quotes cover delivery and installation in metropolitan Adelaide. Regional South Australia and interstate are priced on the address, and we’ll tell you the figure before you commit.
A built room runs into the tens of thousands, takes weeks, disrupts the floor and stays with the landlord. A pod is a fraction of that, goes in the same week, and you keep it. The one thing a built room does better is permanence, which is exactly what you don’t want on a five-year lease.
Ask it on a call. You’ll get a firm price, a delivery date and an honest answer on access.
Fifteen minutes. We map your floor and your bottleneck. You leave with a layout, a price and a delivery date.
