TECHNICAL DETAILS

*Specifications for Dosspod 5. Drawings and specifications for the different Dosspod sizes are available on request.

Foundations

DossPod requires ‘light’ foundation points. Depending on the soil type, different options can be considered. By default, screw piles are recommended as they minimise the impact on the installation site. Water and electricity connections will need to be prepared prior to installation.

Structure

DossPod’s structure is made of steel in order to guarantee the level of rigidity required for good functioning of the Dosspod window. It consists of a frame laid on the foundation points; a rear module containing all the technical equipment and fully manufactured in the workshop; a front module bolted to the rear module directly onsite. The curved timber-framed exterior wall incorporates 20cm of glass wool, a rain screen on the exterior and a vapour barrier on the interior. The roof and floor are insulated with 8cm of polyurethane.

Roof

Waterproofing is achieved using a Firestone EPDM membrane installed in the workshop. Water pipes are incorporated into the rear poles.

Exterior cladding

DossPod is wrapped in an external cladding of thermo-stabilised Northern Pine that guarantees an increased stability of the wood with time. Several colours are available. Other cladding options can be considered so thatDosspod fits in perfectly with its environment.

Window

DossPod is equipped with Dosspod joinery made of curved glass with a circular slide. It consists of sashes that slide along a ring rail.
The aluminum profiles have a thermal break. A curved rod holds blackout curtains that conceal the entire glass surface. These can be motorised as an option.
By default the Dosspod integrates a 6FE(20)6 (Ug 1.1 W / m2K) curved double glazing. Other options are available depending on weather conditions, including triple glazing 6FE(12)4(12)6.
Dosspod is entirely manufactured by the Saint-Gobain Group in a factory based in Chambéry, France. Dosspod is also equipped with a tilt and turn window frame in the bathroom.

Interior Design

DossPod has been designed as a high-end hotel room. Great attention has been paid to the design and the choice of materials for the interior. The main unit is made of natural oak veneer with matt finish. It includes a wardrobe positioned to the right of the bed, which can accommodate a suitcase, a minibar, a safe, and everything you need to spend a weekend in the middle of nature.
The bed is like suspended, and integrated in a shallow niche. The floor is made of light oak parquet. Door handles and knobs come in an anodised sanded black finish.
The lighting and temperature control equipment is made by JUNG.

Bathroom

The bathroom is equipped with a toilet, a basin, a shower, a heated towel rail and a wall niche.
The Axor fittings are in chrome steel, but other finishes are possible.
The floors features 60x60cm tiles and the walls 7.5×2.5cm mosaic tiles, both in anthracite grey. Other colours are available.

Heating and cooling

DossPod is equipped with a Toshiba reversible air-conditioning system ​​to manage both heating and cooling requirements. A disbursement in the roof accommodates the outdoor unit.
DossPod can be easily fitted with a wood burning stove unless the site requires cooling in summer. The bathroom has an integrated ventilation system.

Water and electricity

In its current version, DossPod must be connected to electricity, water and wastewater networks. A 100% off-grid version of Dosspod is under development.

Transport and installation

DossPod has been designed to be compatible with both road and sea transport. The installation is coordinated by our teams, sometimes supported by local companies, depending on the installation site. A Dosspod can be assembled within 2 to 3 days (except foundations and networks which will have been prepared beforehand).

DossPod will soon be available in the US, Canada, Australia and New-Zealand.
