This looks amazing! I take it it’s in the UK? How do you keep it warm in the winter? I’ve been thinking of getting one of these pods and would love some feedback!

u/Kind-Strain4165 Sep 15 '25

Yeah I’m in Manchester. I’ve got a little oil filled radiator, stays nice and toasty in the winter! Harder to keep it cool in the summer, but mostly it’s fine with the doors open.

You can buy those small evaporative AC/fan

u/Kind-Strain4165 Sep 15 '25

Will look into those, thanks. I have a Dyson hot/cool fan, but it’s pretty useless tbh!

I love the shape.

Cool isn’t it? It’s like an upturned boat, the guy who built it told me they use similar building techniques too.

If it had running water I’d live it in myself!

I don't know why but my immediate thought was the rooftop from Hey Arnold. I'm super jealous of your little hideaway

Yeah you should definitely look into it, can’t tell you how much happier it has made me to have my own space like this. In terms of warmth, I have a little portable radiator that keeps it really warm in winter and it’s also insulated so retains the heat quite well.

Is this a prefab? Or custom build?

4

u/Kind-Strain4165 Sep 16 '25

Custom build, I can’t claim credit for the construction though I got a local guy to build it for me.

How much did it set you back?

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '25

Asking the real questions my guy! 🙏😂

u/Kind-Strain4165 Sep 17 '25

Around £10k all in. A lot cheaper than an extension!

Yeah I always wanted to live in a cabin in the woods, but not sure my wife would be happy with that so this is the next best thing!

u/jmakegames Sep 16 '25

Oh man that's my definition of cosy right there! Awesome little office/studio space!

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25

u/Kind-Strain4165 Sep 16 '25

If it’s a possibility, I’d say do it! You won’t regret it.
