RETREAT 1.1 Acoustic Office Pod | Single Person Focus Space for Open Plan Offices in Adelaide
Most compact acoustic pods solve the noise problem but create a comfort problem. Small internal dimensions and straight walls make them feel more like a cupboard than a workspace. The RETREAT 1.1 is designed around how a person actually sits and works, with tapered walls that follow natural body contours to create a genuinely comfortable internal space that users want to return to rather than avoid.
The ability to step away from open plan noise and reset mentally is increasingly recognised as a genuine productivity requirement in modern Adelaide workplaces. Corporate offices, SA government facilities and education environments across South Australia are specifying individual focus pods not just as a nice to have but as a functional part of their workplace strategy. The RETREAT 1.1 delivers that dedicated individual space in a compact footprint that fits comfortably within existing floor plans without dominating the layout.
The 32Dw Class B sound reduction rating creates a calm controlled environment for concentrated work, private tasks and situations where mental clarity matters. The tapered wall design means the internal space feels significantly larger than the external dimensions suggest, which makes a real difference during extended use. For employees who need to focus deeply for sustained periods, that sense of space is what separates a pod they actually use from one they avoid.
FSC certified timber, CHORD acoustic panels from 75% recycled PET and Greenguard Gold certified materials meet the environmental procurement and indoor air quality requirements that SA government departments, corporate organisations and education facilities are now routinely including in their commercial fitout specifications. Creative Systems supplies, delivers, assembles and installs across Adelaide and South Australia, working with interior designers and project managers from specification through to installation.

Common Questions:
What makes the tapered wall design of the RETREAT 1.1 different from standard acoustic pods?
Standard compact acoustic pods use straight internal walls which create a confined box like feel that most users find uncomfortable for extended periods. The RETREAT 1.1 uses tapered walls that follow natural body contours, which opens up the space around the user and creates a significantly more comfortable internal environment. For Adelaide workplaces specifying focus pods that employees will genuinely use throughout the day rather than avoid, the ergonomic difference of the tapered design is worth understanding as part of the specification decision.
Is the RETREAT 1.1 suitable for deep focus work in a busy corporate office in Adelaide?
Yes. The 32Dw Class B sound reduction rating significantly reduces the ambient noise of the surrounding open plan environment, creating a calm and controlled workspace for concentrated tasks, private work and situations where mental clarity matters. For corporate offices, SA government workplaces and education facilities across Adelaide and South Australia where open plan noise is a genuine productivity issue, the RETREAT 1.1 provides a practical and well specified individual focus solution.
How does the RETREAT 1.1 compare to the RETREAT 1.15 acoustic pod?
The RETREAT 1.1 is the most compact pod in the single person RETREAT range with a smaller external footprint than the 1.15, making it the right choice for offices where floor space is particularly limited. The key differentiator of the 1.1 is the tapered wall design which compensates for the smaller external dimensions by creating a more open internal feel. Both pods share the same acoustic rating, sustainable material specification and 7 year warranty and both are supplied and installed by Creative Systems across Adelaide and South Australia.
