To get to work, you do not have to battle the sweltering summer sun, the downpouring spring rains, or the icy winter snows. Instead of rushing out to an expensive restaurant for lunch, you can make a healthy, affordable meal in your own home.

A Live/work unit is more than just a computer and desk at the corner of a room. In general, a live/work unit has benefits comparable to those of a home office.

A live/work unit combines a person’s living quarters and workspace without compromising either.

While the concept of working from home sounds quite practical, the actual practise has occasionally proven to be challenging.

At Louvre at Century Park Apartments in Edmonton, our live-work spaces is one answer to this issue.

A live/work unit, which combines your work area with living quarters, so you essentially work from home but with a designated part for your office, is the perfect answer for freelancers, artists and firms that started on kitchen tables.
