Apartments weren't built for the remote living era
Prospective tenants are now asking one question in every viewing: "Where can I take my meetings?"
Bureau designs elastic spaces, enclosed environments that can be deployed, relocated, and reconfigured as your space evolves. As residents' needs shift and hybrid work expands, infrastructure should adapt without disruption.

A real home office, without the renovation
The booth was a wonderful way to create a dedicated office space for me in our small apartment. I can now have a quiet, private space to work without distractions. My focus at work has improved dramatically.
Natividad Chen, Anatomii Studio Inc., Bureau customerBoth partners worked from home in a condo, needing quiet space for meetings at the same time, one in the bedroom, one at the dining table. Renovating for a dedicated office was too expensive, so a single Bureau booth in the living room solved it, without losing living space.
A smarter alternative to build amenity value
Traditional amenity construction means months of dust, contractor disruption, and high capital expense. Bureau booths are ready by lunch, flat-packed for easy entry, and around 35% cheaper than traditional construction.
Lower cost
Compared to traditional amenity construction, with no contractors required.
Not months
Installed and ready to use in hours, not the weeks or quarters a build-out takes.
Sound reduction
Up to 30 dB for confidential calls and video meetings, with fresh air every 3 minutes.

Pricing depends on booth size, configuration, and finish. The Product Guide below has the full breakdown for every model.
No, pods are freestanding furniture that plug into a standard outlet. No mess, no downtime, and they can be relocated or reconfigured as your building's needs change. Permit and fire-code requirements vary by jurisdiction, and we'll help you check with your local authority.
Because pods are freestanding furniture rather than permanent construction, they generally avoid the renovation approvals a built-in room would need, though large multi-unit buildings should always confirm local fire and building code requirements (for example, some cities require sprinklers above a certain footprint) before installing.
