Description

The "Viking" Pod

Introducing the "Viking" Pod — a remarkable barrel-shaped retreat that blends Viking-inspired charm with modern versatility. With its distinct curved design and straight-sided front and back, this pod resembles a grand Viking vessel anchored in the landscape, ready to welcome weary travellers.

Measuring 5.9m in length, 3m in width, and 2.5m in height, the Viking pod is as spacious as it is captivating, offering 13.7 square metres of adaptable interior space.

This pod is a true canvas for creativity, with room for up to three areas that can serve as sleeping quarters, a cosy dining space, or a relaxing lounge. The Viking glamping barrel is a nod to the spirit of adventure, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a uniquely enchanting glamping experience.

 

Luxury 2 Person Glamping Pod

Step into "The Viking’s Longboat", a bespoke 2-person glamping pod that blends Nordic charm with modern luxury, designed to offer guests an immersive experience in nature without compromising on comfort. 

 

Exterior

The pod’s sleek full-glass front door, framed in a sophisticated matte black trim, creates an inviting and modern entrance. Two up-and-down LED lights flank the doorway, casting a warm glow that enhances the pod’s presence at night. A sturdy entrance step with a protective lip leads guests inside, adding a touch of practicality while maintaining the elegant design.

 

Central Living Space

Upon stepping inside, the pod opens into a thoughtfully designed, open-plan layout that maximises both comfort and functionality.

To the left, the fully equipped kitchenette provides all the essentials for a seamless stay. Featuring twin hobs, a mini fridge with freezer, a stainless steel sink with hot and cold water, and ample storage space, this compact yet efficient kitchen is perfect for preparing meals. LED strip lighting under the upper cabinets casts a soft, ambient glow, adding to the pod’s warm and inviting atmosphere.

Next to the kitchenette, a dedicated wardrobe space ensures that guests can keep their belongings neatly stored away, optimizing the living area without sacrificing convenience.

 

Bathroom

Opposite the kitchenette, the modern bathroom is cleverly designed to maximise space while offering full functionality. It includes a stylish curved shower that seamlessly tucks into the pod’s wall, a wash hand basin, and a toilet. The pod’s water heater is neatly integrated above the toilet, keeping the plumbing and electrical services compact and organised.

By placing all utilities at the front of the pod, the second half remains open and dedicated to relaxation, comfort, and panoramic nature views.

 

Scenic Bedroom & Signature Window

Moving deeper into the pod, guests are met with one of its most stunning features—a large circular double-glazed and tempered glass window spanning 2.1 meters in diameter. Perfectly positioned at the foot of the bed, this feature allows guests to wake up to breathtaking sunrises or admire scenic landscapes from the comfort of their own space.

The smart bar table located behind the bed is ideally placed to allow guests to sit, enjoy a meal, or work while taking in the surrounding views.

To enhance guest comfort, the pod also includes a smart radiator with automatic temperature control, ensuring that the interior climate remains at an optimal level year-round.

 

Key Features

  1. Expansive Circular Viewing Window – A 2.1m-wide, double-glazed feature window at the foot of the bed, offering breath-taking views of nature.
  2. Sleek Full-Glass Entrance – A stylish and modern matte black-trimmed door, illuminated by contemporary LED up-and-down lighting.
  3. Fully Equipped Kitchenette – Includes twin hobs, a mini fridge/freezer, a stainless steel sink with hot and cold water, and ample storage with soft LED accent lighting.

Alternative Layout 1: Bar-Style Dining with Open Lounge Space

By adjusting the kitchen and dining setup, we’ve created an entirely new ambiance in the central living space. In this layout, the kitchen is slightly shortened, and the dining table is transformed into a bar-style seating area along the right-hand side as soon as you enter the pod. With bar stools added, this layout provides a functional yet stylish dining area that optimises the pod’s interior flow.

With the left-hand side of the central living space now open, there’s room for a cosy lounge area—a perfect spot for a sofa or even a sofa bed. Alternatively, it can accommodate a third bed or a bunk bed configuration.

This space can be used as a relaxation corner complete with a wall-mounted TV, perfect for cosy movie nights.

 

Alternative Layout 2: Highland Pod

This bespoke project was situated high in the peaks, where two lone pods stood proudly amidst breath-taking views, capturing the essence of a hunter’s style cabin...

  • Main Living Space: Upon entering, guests are welcomed into a cosy living area complete with two lounge chairs, a radiator, and a TV, creating a relaxing retreat to unwind after a day of adventure. 
  • Sleeping Quarters: Beyond the living area lies the sleeping space, with two single beds positioned on either side of the pod. A bedside table and a mini fridge are nestled between the beds, providing practicality and charm.
  • While this layout currently includes two single beds, it can easily be adapted to feature a double bed or other configurations to suit specific needs.
Pricing

This pod is priced at £9,995 (exc VAT). The reduced cost reflects the exclusion of the kitchen and washroom featured in the original design. This configuration includes the pod structure only, with no internal furnishings, as these were completed by the end client.

Pod Essential FAQ's

What is the lead time on the pods?

For single pod projects, from order confirmation to arrival on site, typically ranges from 4 to 6 weeks.

For multi-pod projects, which often require more customisation and coordination, the timeline extends to approximately 6 to 10 weeks.

What foundation is required for the pods?

Recommended Base Types

We recommend setting your pod on concrete, tarmac. A level and secure base prevent issues like water ingress, pest intrusion, and aesthetic wear over time.

Why is a Solid Base Important?

A solid foundation is essential to ensure the longevity and stability of your pod. Setting the pod on an uneven or unstable base can cause structural issues, including door and window misalignments, gaps, and a decrease in insulation and water resistance.

Is electricity required?

Electrical needs vary depending on the pod’s intended use. For simple setups, a 20 Amp supply may suffice, while pods with more equipment may require up to 32 Amps. Consult with our team for specific guidance tailored to your pod’s setup.

Is plumbing required?

Plumbing isn’t necessary for all pods but can be added based on your preferences. If plumbing is needed, we collaborate to pre-plan access points for sinks, showers, or toilets. Our process ensures a smooth installation by preparing all cut-outs and access areas before delivery.
