What is MyPod? The FAQs of superloo cubicles

- Insights
If you are looking at MyPod, you are probably trying to solve one of three problems.
MyPod is Venesta’s self-contained superloo system. It brings the WC, basin, vanity, mirror and accessories into a single, fully integrated unit. There are no shared handwashing areas and no open vanity spaces. One person uses the space at a time, with clarity and privacy built in.
These are the questions most often asked, based on real projects and our Specification Managers’ experience.
What exactly is a superloo?
A superloo is a single-occupancy washroom where everything the user needs sits within one enclosed space. This includes the WC, basin, mirror, soap, drying and storage.
With MyPod, this is delivered as a coordinated system rather than a collection of separate products. The cubicle, panelling, sanitaryware and fittings are designed to work together, visually and technically.
This approach removes the need for communal handwashing areas altogether, which can simplify layouts and improve hygiene
Why choose MyPod instead of standard cubicles?
Standard cubicles work best in shared spaces, which works in many settings, but it comes with compromises around privacy, congestion and clarity of use.
MyPod is typically specified where privacy, dignity, inclusivity and user comfort matter more.
It is commonly used in:
Because each unit is self-contained, users are never exposed to others while washing hands or using mirrors. From an operational point of view, that also means clearer responsibility and easier cleaning routines.
Is MyPod suitable for gender-neutral washrooms?
Yes, and this is one of the strongest reasons to specify a superloo.
Single-occupancy layouts remove the need to label spaces by gender. Each user has the same experience, with the same level of privacy and security.
Full-height doors and partitions, fixed securely to the floor and ceiling, help ensure that privacy feels solid and intentional, which matters in busy or public environments.
How does MyPod help with space planning?
MyPod is compact by design. Everything is planned into a defined footprint rather than spread across a room.
This allows you to:
In some projects, specifying superloos has allowed designers to reduce overall washroom size without reducing user comfort or capacity.
What is included within a MyPod unit?
A MyPod installation can include:
Because everything is designed as a single system, visual alignment is cleaner, and on-site coordination is simpler. This avoids the piecemeal look and technical clashes that can occur when multiple suppliers are brought together.
What materials and finishes are available?
MyPod can be specified in the following materials:
This gives a wide range of visual options, from practical and robust through to high-end and architectural. ColourCoat can be matched to any RAL Classic colour, while veneers are ethically sourced and carefully finished.
Hardware is available in stainless steel or aluminium, with optional black, brass or bronze effect finishes to suit the wider interior scheme
Is MyPod durable enough for commercial use?
Yes. MyPod is designed specifically for commercial and public environments.
Key durability features include:
This is not a domestic concept scaled up. It is a commercial system designed to perform under daily use.
How does MyPod support hygiene and maintenance?
By removing shared handwashing areas, MyPod reduces touchpoints and congestion.
Each unit is easier to clean thoroughly because it is self-contained. Cleaning teams can work one pod at a time, without closing an entire washroom.
Concealed storage and integrated accessories with Mirror Box Units also reduce clutter, which helps maintain a cleaner appearance over time.
Can MyPod be used in refurbishments?
Yes. Many MyPod projects are refurbishments as well as new builds.
The system is modular and adaptable, so it can work within existing structural and service constraints. Bespoke sizing is available, and panelling can integrate with existing services where needed.
Early involvement of a Specification Manager is particularly useful on refurbishment projects, as small layout decisions can make a big difference.
Is MyPod the right choice for every project?
Not always.
Superloos work best when privacy, inclusivity and clarity are priorities. In very high-traffic environments, or where space is generous and budgets are tight, traditional layouts may still be appropriate.
The right answer usually comes from understanding users, peak demand, space constraints and long-term maintenance expectations. That conversation is often more valuable than the product choice itself.
How to decide if MyPod is right for your project
MyPod works best when it is considered early, alongside questions about users, space and long-term operation.
If privacy, inclusivity and clarity of use matter, a superloo layout often solves more problems than it creates. It simplifies the washroom experience for users, reduces shared touchpoints, and gives you a cleaner, more controlled space to manage over time.
The most effective MyPod projects are rarely about the product alone. They come from taking a step back and looking at how the washroom will be used day to day, at peak times, and years after handover.
A short conversation at the right point in the design process can help you sense-check layouts, confirm whether a self-contained approach is appropriate, and avoid compromises later on. That clarity tends to bring confidence, for the design team and for the client.
