㽶ƵֱA professionally designed workspace on your property, away from the distractions of home㽶Ƶֱ

An office compact enough to fit in a backyard is being hailed as Metro Vancouver㽶Ƶֱs 㽶Ƶֱultimate work from home solution.㽶Ƶֱ

Dreamt up by New Westminster film and TV production designer, Rick Whitfield, the 㽶ƵֱBox Office㽶Ƶֱ is a prefabricated unit and a portable, private workspace.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many British Columbians to leave their office spaces to work remotely in their homes.

Whitfield, who has worked on Netflix, Marvel, and Disney productions, used his time off 㽶Ƶֱ due to recent shutdowns in the film industry 㽶Ƶֱ to bring the unique idea to life.

㽶ƵֱI was able to revisit an idea that had been percolating for years: a professionally designed workspace on your property, away from the distractions of home,㽶Ƶֱ he said.

Included in the eco-friendly unit is customizable cabinetry, lighting, ceiling panels, ventilation, electrical outlets and even a desk chair to sit on.

Whitfield㽶Ƶֱs wife, Angie, was the first to test out the product.

㽶ƵֱI find myself to be so much more productive in a dedicated workspace. It provides an escape㽶Ƶֱ with lots of windows providing natural light and well-placed cabinets. It㽶Ƶֱs so comfortable,㽶Ƶֱ she told Black Press Media.

Whitfield says it takes 20 minutes to set the up. Each unit costs about $30,000.
