An office compact enough to fit in a backyard is being hailed as Metro Vancouverѻýs ѻýultimate work from home solution.ѻý
Dreamt up by New Westminster film and TV production designer, Rick Whitfield, the ѻýBox Officeѻý 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 ѻý due to recent shutdowns in the film industry ѻý to bring the unique idea to life.
ѻýI 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,ѻý 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.
Whitfieldѻýs wife, Angie, was the first to test out the product.
ѻýI find myself to be so much more productive in a dedicated workspace. It provides an escapeѻý with lots of windows providing natural light and well-placed cabinets. Itѻýs so comfortable,ѻý she told Black Press Media.
Whitfield says it takes 20 minutes to set the up. Each unit costs about $30,000.
