架构师提供的文本描述。逃生舱是一个椭圆的，有机的，旋转的吊舱。一个工程的，独特的户外空间，可用作花园办公室，工作室，舒适或休息。设计和制作在格洛斯特郡的乡村，脱衣袋诞生的愿望，创造一个美丽的，引人注目的室外结构。一种与其所处的环境密切相关的，以高质量的质量完成的，而且在风格上是当代的。一个独特的空间，逃避，为工作，冥想，社交或睡眠提供了一个地方。

Text description provided by the architects. The Escape Pod is an elliptical, organic, rotating pod. An engineered, unique outdoor space which can be used as a garden office, studio, snug or retreat. Designed and crafted in the Gloucestershire countryside, the Escape Pod was born out of a desire to create a beautiful, striking outdoor structure. One that nestles into its environment, is made to a high-quality finish and is contemporary in style. A unique space to escape to, the Escape Pod offers a place to work, meditate, socialize or sleep.

为了达到弯曲的形状，吊舱的设计利用了创新的数控铣削和制造技术。这使它能够在车间中精确地制造，完全由木材制成。桦木胶合板，由于其强度和美学品质的选择，形成了结构。它暴露在内部；从吊舱的框架到定制的叠层门铰链。从外部看，吊舱上覆盖着雪松瓦，楼梯和窗台都用欧洲橡木覆盖，具有天然的气候弹性。随着时间的推移，雪松和橡树形成了一种银色的色调，使豆荚与周围环境和谐地融合在一起。

To achieve its curved form, the pod’s design exploits innovative CNC milling and making techniques. This enables it to be fabricated with precision in the workshop, entirely from wood. Birch plywood, chosen for its strength and aesthetic qualities, forms the structure. It is exposed internally; from the pod’s framework to the bespoke laminated door hinge. Externally, the pod is clad with cedar shingles and the stairs and window sills are clad in European Oak, which has natural weather resilient properties. Over time the Cedar and Oak develop a silver hue, allowing the pod to blend harmoniously into its surroundings.

逃生舱材料的有机特性与其设计中所使用的工程形成了鲜明的对比。其中最令人印象深刻的是一个飞机式塞门与一个独特的木制铰链机构。这个吊舱位于离地面半米高的平台上，它可以旋转-通过提升台阶，它可以旋转到所需的方向。每个吊舱都可以根据客户的需要量身定做，从窗户的放置和内部装修到集成的配件和家具。加热(木材燃烧器或地板)，电气和绝缘选项也可以包括在内。Escape Pod的起价为19，800英镑，但将因款式规格的不同而略有变化。

The organic nature of the Escape Pod’s materials contrasts with the engineering employed in its design. Amongst its most impressive features is an aircraft-style plug door with a unique wooden hinge mechanism. The pod sits on a raised platform half a meter from the ground which allows it to be rotated – by lifting the steps, it is spun to face the desired direction. Each pod can be tailored to suit the clients’ needs, from the window placement and internal finish to the integrated fittings and furnishings. Heating (wood burner or underfloor), electrics and insulation options can also be incorporated. The price of the Escape Pod starts at £19,800 but will vary slightly, depending on style specifications.

多米尼克·阿什和杰里米·费特合作创建了Escape Pod，这是高质量家具设计的结合，也是设计小空间的愿望。从与Dominic Ash有限公司的密切合作以及Dominic给团队带来的30年设计经验中获益良多。在获得土木工程硕士学位、专门从事树屋设计之后，杰里米的想法在多米尼克Ash有限公司工作后被植入了更坚实的基础上。结合他的工程背景和创造富有想象力的空间的热情，杰里米创造了逃生舱。

Dominic Ash and Jeremy Fitter have collaborated to create the Escape Pod, a union of high-quality furniture design and a desire to engineer small spaces. Podmakers benefits greatly from working closely with Dominic Ash Ltd and the 30 years of design experience Dominic brings to the team. After a Master’s in civil engineering, specializing in treehouse design, Jeremy’s ideas were planted on more solid ground after working for Dominic Ash Ltd. Combining his engineering background with a passion for creating imaginative spaces has propelled Jeremy to create the escape pod.
