Climb the mountain of "FOCUS" — Glawall optimizes office spaces for international outdoor brands

OFFICE POD Case

Glawall's client roster has welcomed a new member — one of the world's three major full-range climbing brands, dedicated to the R&D of technical materials and professional functional design. Its product line covers multiple outdoor fields including mountaineering, rock climbing, trekking, and trail running. The brand also features its own climbing gym, climbing club, and trail running club.

This culture of "integrating the outdoors into work" is the company's proudest source of vitality, and also its most thorny management challenge: when athletes' exertion, the passion of the climbing gym, the collision of creative ideas, and designers' sketching pens all coexist under one roof, how can the "quiet" of deep work and the "dynamism" of team energy coexist?

1 Person Pod

Deployment Areas

Next to core R&D workstations, near executive and HR office areas

Addressing Pain Points：

New product developers need a "flow state" that lasts for several consecutive hours. Every time they are interrupted by conversations or phone rings in an open environment, it takes about 20 minutes to re-enter that state.

Scenarios involving technical patents, financing strategies, or confidential HR discussions require absolute privacy.

Core Uses：

Engineers can step into the pod at any time for pattern debugging, fabric analysis, and patent documentation. With speech noise reduction of >29.5dB as tested by SGS, external distractions are effectively blocked, allowing for quick entry into a flow state. Equipped with a ventilation system and adjustable lighting, it ensures health and comfort during prolonged use.

2 Person Pod

Deployment Areas

Corners of the open collaboration area, near the workstations of project managers and product owners.

Addressing Pain Points：

Two designers need to quickly align on a user detail; booking a large meeting room is time-consuming and wastes resources.

A project leader needs to have a quick meeting with team members, requiring both privacy and the need to avoid disturbing colleagues nearby.

Core Uses：

The double pod features a compact and practical interior, equipped with power outlets, USB ports, and a corner desk, allowing two laptops to work simultaneously. Team members can step into the pod at any time for short, efficient discussions or for confidential remote meetings with global teams.

4 Person Pod

Deployment Areas

Between the R&D area and the testing area, at the end of the public corridor, and near the key client reception area.

Addressing Pain Points：

During project sprint periods, personnel from product, visual design, athletes, and testing require intensive collaboration. Traditional meeting rooms are often occupied, while discussions in public areas disturb others.

When having remote video conferences with overseas suppliers or brand ambassadors, background noise from open workstations undermines the professional image.

Core Uses：

The four-person pod plays the role of a "mobile war room." Before a new product launch, R&D, product, marketing, and supply chain teams can gather for collective reviews. When clients visit, it can be used as a temporary solution demonstration room. The modular design requires no civil engineering, transforming idle corners such as corridors and lobbies into high-value collaboration spaces.

The introduction of Glawall office pods is essentially a systematic optimization of office space efficiency. Through the three-pod matrix—1 person pods safeguarding deep focus, 2 person pods empowering instant collaboration, and 4 person pods supporting agile teamwork—a rebalancing of "vitality and order" has been achieved.

This not only directly enhances R&D efficiency, team collaboration, and corporate image, but also represents a forward-looking practice in office space asset management for a world-class brand during its scaling-up phase.
