This is a small garden retreat that both children and adults can enjoy. Consisting of just 125 square feet, it includes a study area, entertainment area, and a handcrafted collapsible oak loft bed. A surveillance system (in place of a door bell), in-wall wiring for audiovisual components, speakers, an intercom, and internet connectivity are all technological features of the space. A pocket door was also custom designed to maximize the interior usable space. This garden retreat — coined a Metapod — can also be adapted to be used as a sustainable, affordable, and off-the-power grid housing. A feeling of peace and communality from a chaotic world sets it apart from other garden retreats and gives it an almost monastic feel. All of these features contribute to the singularity and character of this project.
