A recent Research Co. poll found that 54% of employed British Columbia say they’ve worked from home during the pandemic. The same poll says that one-third of those who worked from home believe that they’ll be able to keep doing so once or twice a week when the pandemic ends. Are you working from home and wish you had an office there but don’t think you have the room for one? Sometimes what you’re looking for is right in front of you if you only look at it from a different perspective – or through someone else’s eyes. Here are a few projects we helped our clients with and all of them were designed into small areas or multi-purpose rooms.
