Hiding Place

Journal

What we are learning

Notes on rest, on designing the pods, and on what actually happens when they go into a ward or a terminal. Written by the people doing the work.

Coming

What we will be writing about

The first pieces are being written now. These are the four things we keep being asked about, so they are where we are starting.

01

Rest

What actually makes a short rest restorative, and why most public seating is designed against it.

02

Design

Notes from the drawing board. Acoustics, airflow, the latch, and the decisions that did not survive prototyping.

03

Deployments

What we learn on site. Wards, terminals, church halls and relief camps, written up honestly including the installs that went badly.

04

Company

Manufacturing in Nigeria, hiring, and the unglamorous parts of building physical infrastructure.

Why there is nothing here yet

We would rather publish nothing than publish filler. The pods are in prototype and the first deployments are being arranged, and the writing worth reading comes out of that work rather than ahead of it. Join the list and the first piece will reach you.
