We deeply understand the significance of historical context.

Our Tydubh collection of garden pods takes its name from early dwellings found in ancient Ireland and northern Scotland. In Scots Gaelic, these ancient houses are referred to as Taigh-Dubh, which translates to 'Blackhouse.'

 

Blackhouses were unique in that they did not have chimneys; instead, smoke from a central hearth was allowed to filter freely through the thatched roof. This resulted in soot staining the walls both inside and out, giving the houses their distinctive black appearance. 

 

A Blackhouse was built to endure extreme weather conditions, featuring sturdy walls and a robust roof construction.

​

Our aim is to channel the spirit of this ancient resilience and bond it with modern materials, concepts and techniques. Creating modular buildings that withstand all weather extremes.

Tydubh Pod Key Features

Modern aesthetics and progressive values meets lasting durability.​

Structural Framework

The structural framing of our pods is manufactured from steel or timber frame kits in-house at our factory. These kits are fully engineered, ensuring optimum structural performance from the roof structure, suspended joist decks and pre-fabricated wall panels. A structural engineer's certificate will be provided where required.

Don't let planning permission hold you back.

Our pods are designed to have minimal impact on the site in which they are installed, and are built with various rules and regulations in mind.

​

While some installs do not require planning applications to be submitted for approval, where these are required, Podworks can provide this service ensuring that your pod is fully approved and certified within any planning requirements set out by local councils.

​

If you're unsure whether or not you'll require this service, get in touch and our friendly team will get back to you, and analyse your situation.
