I don't think it's that crazy for home offices. It could serve as a way to communicate to others that you are working, and it could help you mentally separate work and recreation. They could also make it a tanning salon/office combo. Not only will you get your work done, but you'll get a great tan as well ;)
It took me about three minuets to get that this not a gag.
Just shy of $25K USD for a small room with a door as a single person's computer-based workspace? This is mind-numbingly stupid. You could hardly meet with a second person in there, let alone do anything on a whiteboard or requiring much more physical space than the small desk inside. Why do tiny, minimalist things always cost so much ?
It doesn't include the cost of running power / network / phone line to it either - which if you want it done properly and done underground is not terribly cheap.
Lastly it just looks like a magnet for burglars to be breaking in and stealing stuff
It didn't get a very good reception then, either.
EDIT: Sorry, looking at the wrong article. Last time it got one comment, and that was negative.
Unfortunately, http://www.officepod.co.uk/blog/uk-price-announcement/ OfficePOD are pleased to announce an introductory price - for the United Kingdom - of just £14,950 plus installation and VAT.
>> "An independent study has shown that moving to OfficePOD reduces CO2 emissions by between 46% & 67%. " Where to start :/

For that kind of money you could easily outfit an existing room with a top-quality computer, comfortable desk and chair, office supplies, whatever you need to work.
