Jade Jagger’s Pod Living

At the new residence designed by Jade Jagger on West 19th Street in NYC, the building offers ‘pod living’ - a concept that provides a huge box to sit in your living space. When opened up, the pod offers bathroom, kitchen and closet utilities. The site says:

At the Jade, New York’s great downtown loft tradition gets a modern twist with Pods: jewel-like lacquered boxes that seem to float in each residence. Enclosed within this single cube are your meticulously laid-out kitchen and bathroom. When opened, the Pod reveals a glamorous interplay of sparkling tiles, vivid colors and textures.

PSFK contributor Hedyeh Parsia commented, “If you haven’t got any space already in your apartment, what’s the point of sticking a great big box there?” It’s a good point - but does this reflect a new twist on ‘ready-to-use’ home improvement? Your thoughts?
