Werklab was created with the intention of supporting humans in taking care of themselves. Through this individualistic approach the support will impact their businesses and professional pursuits. Christina is passionate about providing space for othersto grow mentally, physically and professionally.

“Not only is the studio a beautiful place filled with everything you could ever want but it seems to attract some of the most creative and interesting people in town. The opportunities for cross pollination, peer support and epic good times are virtually unlimited.”
“It’s a beautiful space to meet with like-minded, lovely people. Having a swing and hammock isn’t too bad, either :)”
“The coffee… no, seriously. The coffee is pretty spectacular, so are Friday post-midday beers in the sun, and the bbqs, and the occasional birthday. There is a large group with a big variety in tastes, backgrounds, occupations, and employment – from coders to artists, from filmmakers to beer-tour-creators. All those come together and make for great interdisciplinary talks, that’s something you don’t see anywhere else. Oh yes, they have desks too, which are just like desks – and you can find those anywhere. What you can’t find anywhere are the above mentioned things!”
“Sometimes the city gets me down; people are hustling and don’t want to look you in the eye. The Studio offers a beautiful space to work in a quiet, respectful environment, and also contains a warm community of people that are genuinely interested when they ask “how’s your day going?”
“It’s my work family 🙂 Wonderful cool vibe at the studio and amazing diverse people!”
“I met D at the Beau Photo 35th Anniversary party and she was so welcoming and kind! She got me excited about the prospect of being involved in her community of artists. I’m looking forward to collaborating with the talented people at Creative Coworkers and Sandbox Studios, as I’m new to Vancouver and still building my network!”
“The environment and atmosphere – traditional materials brick & wood. The people-friendly spaces like the kitchen where conversation, discussion and laughter are often heard. D’s enthusiasm, dedication and community focus for CC.”
“The Creative space is an open and friendly environment, where you instantly feel part of the community!”
“I love being a part of the studio because it offers everything I need to get my work done and the vibe here is super friendly. The space boosts my creativity with the changing art on the walls and all the amenities here are top notch.”
“It’s an amazing space, very beautiful and it allows me to really focus on work. D is wonderful. You meet really cool people from different fields of work.

Who Is VanCubers Co-Working & Shared Office Spaces?
VanCubers is a division of MobiBlossom Solutions Inc. A local software development start up company. Vancouver’s office rental prices are absolutely crazy, we can see why it is difficult to start a business and cover all the expenses. We understand that frustration. Our goal at VanCubers is to provide a class A co-working space as a greatly reduced price.
The current rental rate for the downtown core is sitting at $42.76 per square foot. This means if you require a 200 sq foot office, your monthly rent would be $8552 per month. Our office is laid out in a way that our private offices can comfortably hold 5 employees in just 96 square feet. Since the rest of the office is shared, your private space is what you are paying for.
But not to worry, no need to pay that hefty downtown square footage price. Check out our prices and come see the place for yourself. VanCubers is a very affordable place to rent a room for your office. Did we also mention, the furniture is included too?
What Does VanCubers Sell?
VanCubers does not sell anything. In fact we rent. We rent desks, phones, offices and even our address. VanCubers is known to be a co-working and shared office space. One of our very popular products is our hot desk.
A hot desk is a desk that does not have an owner and its tenant is constantly changing. We rent desks in our hot desk room by the day, week or month. The more you work with us the cheaper the desks become.
We also offer dedicated desks, for people who what a permanent place to sit, throw up a few monitors and have a place to lock up some personal work material and other company items.
For those who only need an address part time, our virtual office product allows you to rent our address to place on business cards and have a place to have mail and packages arrive.
