The cabins have a [prefab design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-pod) that is paired with floor-to-ceiling windows in order to maximize the airy feeling inside the relatively compact pods. Professionals can enjoy a [modular shelving wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mespace-workstation) and are sure to appreciate the buildings' ability to be positioned in [almost any outdoor space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workshed), even tiny ones. The 'My Room in the Garden' pods come in several size options including the smallest version which is six-by-eight-feet for $6,400, while the largest one starts at $13,600. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **WFH Space Solutions:** Expanding usable space with garden office pods for remote workers. - **Prefabricated Outdoor Structures:** Designing and creating outdoor structures in modular and pre-built formats to expand on work from home or living spaces. - **Maximizing Outdoor Space:** Developing innovative ways of making use of outdoor spaces for use in home offices or living spaces beyond traditional gardening or leisure activities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Real Estate:** Incorporating garden office pods as options in property listings to increase value and attract remote workers seeking suitable WFH spaces. - **Construction:** Designing and building prefabricated outdoor structures as modular additions to traditional homes or offices to provide cost-effective WFH spaces. - **Gardening and Landscaping:** Providing consultancy and support services for transforming outdoor living spaces into functional and productive WFH spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Micro Backyard Work Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-office.md) - [First-Class Working Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabin-work-pod.md) - [Compact Work Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragon-tiny-homes-1.md) - [Quirky Solo Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-capsules.md) - [Calming Workspace Productivity Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabin-privacy-pod.md) - [Nature-Inspired Geometric Office Domes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dzome.md) - [Minimalist Private Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarlux-soundproof-space.md) - [Privacy Workspace Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabin.md) - [Portable Office Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ootbox.md)
