Offices of the future will forgo open cubicles for ‘sentient’ pods that adjust the indoor environment the moment you step inside and close the door.

I ventured outside my home office to try out what is deemed ‘the work from home killer,’ finding the structure was packed with the lasted tech, including software used in self-driving cars.

Sitting down in the 4G-connected Smart Pod, ventilation automatically started up, flushing air through the pod every minute, and lights instantly adjusted based on the surrounding illumination.

While the pods feature glass sidings to provide a window to the outside world, the inside was incredibly quiet – you could hear a pin drop. 

Framery, the mastermind behind the plan to get employees back into office, offers several options for staff – from a pod with a single desk to a table that seats four and a larger meeting room for around six employees.
