Modular by Design

Our pods are built in sections that Snap together with ease. That means:

  • Quick assembly – No team needed. Just slot and snap.
  • Customisable before delivery – You choose the modules and finishes.
  • Fast shipping – Sections are pre-made and flat-packed for delivery.
  • Repairable – Damaged a section? We’ll send a replacement — and even buy back the damaged one.
  • Expandable – Add more modules to your existing pod at any time.

How It All Started

Snap Pod was born from a love of clever design, outdoor living, and founder Sam’s passion for engineering, problem solving and timber construction.

After taking early retirement and travelling most of Asia with his wife an three kids, Sam began sketching early concepts for a pod that could be flat-packed, easily assembled, and made from standard off-the-shelf part. Inspired by Scandinavian simplicity and Hobbit-style charm, the Snap Pod concept took shape.

The principles were simple:
✔️ Make it modular
✔️ Make it beautiful
✔️ Make it easy

The Journey So Far

Right now, we’re designing our first full 3D prototype — one module at a time.

Each pod is built from three key sections:

  • Front module – With options like a porch, veranda and other entry features.
  • Middle module – Add windows, insulation, or keep it minimal with no windows.
  • Rear module – A clean, compact finish to complete your pod with or without windows.

When Sam returns to the UK in August 2025, we'll start making the first prototypes. Once these are built and tested, we’ll move into production — and launch our online pod builder, where customers can create and customise their own pod with just a few clicks.

Meet the Maker

Snap Pod was founded by Sam, a fully qualified civil engineer with a passion for practical design and hands-on building. With several years of experience in civil and structural drafting, Sam has a deep understanding of how things are put together — and how to make them simpler.

Before launching Snap Pod, Sam spent nearly a decade running a small landscaping business, where he led a variety of outdoor construction projects. He also built a few residential extensions and bespoke structures. His combined expertise in engineering, design, and construction is what drives the innovation behind Snap Pod.

The idea for modular, snap-together pods was born from a desire to make stylish, functional spaces that anyone can build — with no need for a construction crew or complex tools.

Snap Pod is the culmination of Sam’s professional background, creative thinking, and love for problem-solving — all rolled into one modular, expandable, and beautifully built system.
