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:
Why tapered walls specifically, what's the actual benefit?
Straight walls on a compact pod create that boxed in feeling most people notice within a few minutes. The taper follows natural body contours instead, which opens up the space around the user so it feels noticeably bigger inside than the external dimensions suggest.
Does it actually hold up for deep focus work, or just short calls?
The 32Dw rating cuts ambient open plan noise enough to create a genuinely calm space for sustained concentration, not just brief calls. For corporate offices and government workplaces where background noise is a constant productivity drag, that's the point of specifying it.
How does this compare to the 1.15?
This is the more compact of the two, smaller external footprint, better for offices where floor space is genuinely tight. The tapered walls are what compensate for that smaller size, so it doesn't feel cramped despite being the smaller option. Same acoustic rating, same materials, same warranty across both.
Is the smaller size a real compromise, or does the taper actually fix it?
The taper genuinely changes how it feels inside. It's not a marketing line, the internal sense of space is noticeably different from a standard straight walled pod of the same external size.
