Spherical Livable Pods

Jag Virdie's Conker Living is Livable Through All Four Seasons

— August 2, 2018 — Eco
Jag Virdie is a retired British engineer with a successful past working with big names including Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Lotus -- now he challenged himself with Conker Living. Conker Living is a spherical structure that can function as both an office or a living space. The challenge was mainly working to transform an unconventional geometric shape into something that is comfortable and livable. The pods are designed in a range of different styles and settings with the option to be customized accordingly.

Every Conker pod is designed and manufactured locally in Cheshire, England. A pod has a diameter of 3.9 meters, a floor space of 10 meters squared, can be installed in as little as one day and can handle all four seasons. The pods have a modular monocoque form, premium heat recovery and no guttering.
