91ƵA professionally designed workspace on your property, away from the distractions of home91Ƶ

An office compact enough to fit in a backyard is being hailed as Metro Vancouver91Ƶs 91Ƶultimate work from home solution.91Ƶ

Dreamt up by New Westminster film and TV production designer, Rick Whitfield, the 91ƵBox Office91Ƶ 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 91Ƶ due to recent shutdowns in the film industry 91Ƶ to bring the unique idea to life.

91ƵI 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,91Ƶ 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.

Whitfield91Ƶs wife, Angie, was the first to test out the product.

91ƵI find myself to be so much more productive in a dedicated workspace. It provides an escape91Ƶ with lots of windows providing natural light and well-placed cabinets. It91Ƶs so comfortable,91Ƶ she told Black Press Media.

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