Bright Naturally Lit Studio at Werklab Inc.

About this space

Set inside a beautifully restored 90-years-old heritage building in Strathcona near Commercial Drive, our light-filled studio offers over 1,400 square feet of open, flexible space designed to inspire creativity, connection, and movement. With soaring ceilings, oversized windows, warm wood floors, and thoughtfully curated furnishings, it provides a clean, modern backdrop that transforms effortlessly for any occasion.

Whether you're hosting a wellness workshop, yoga or fitness class, photoshoot, corporate retreat, brand activation, intimate celebration, panel discussion, or creative production, the studio adapts to your vision.

Open the movable wall to seamlessly connect with the adjoining Zen Den lounge, creating an even larger experience with cozy seating, layered textures, and a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for networking, breakout sessions, or content creation.

The space is intentionally minimal yet inviting—allowing your event, brand, or creative vision to take center stage.

Perfect for:

Yoga, Pilates & movement classes
Workshops & retreats
Photoshoots & video productions
Corporate off-sites & team meetings
Panel discussions & speaker events
Pop-up markets & brand activations
Private celebrations & community gatherings
Birthday & engaged parties

For weekend private events, the space is fully closed off and private for the duration of the booking.

For weekday events before 5:00 PM, the space is partially accessible to Werklab members (As part of our coworking space), as they need access to the phone booths. The Studio has movable doors that can be closed, allowing for greater privacy and separation from the rest of the space. After 5:00 PM on weekdays, the space becomes fully closed off and private for event guests.
