Step Inside Werklab: A Wellness-Focused Coworking Space

Christina Disler transcends the idea of work-life balance through her Vancouver coworking community.

With a yoga studio dubbed the Zen Den, an aromatherapy bar, and sessions on mindfulness, Werklab offers more than a place to plant your laptop. It’s a beautifully designed 12,000 square-foot workspace that encourages members to slow down and do their best work, both inside and out.

It’s situated in a 1920s industrial building with wood beam ceilings, abundant natural light, and a good cross-breeze. Disler drew from the talents of her designer/entrepreneur family, and her background in Human Resources, to transform the previously wall-less storage room into a sanctuary of productivity.
