Staff Writer

Are you tired of working at home? If so, you should head to this wild new patio near Ottawa with themed spaces that are the ultimate background for your next Zoom call.

Terrasse Ilot is brand new, and you can find it on the roof of the Leduc parking garage in Gatineau.

Best of all, you can use 12 teleworking pods and three Palm Springs-inspired patios for free, and no reservations are required.

Inside there are so many stunning spaces where you can get to work on your laptop; some of the themes are a swimming pool, Area 51, rubber ducks, ice cream cones, lawn flamingos, and a jungle room complete with a giant tiger.

Each area has many unique details that will make teleworking way more enjoyable, like the skateboard room, which has a ramp desk and even a glowing street light.

Or you can head here for some after-work cocktails and snacks with your friends. Onsite they have snacks for sale, or you can order delivery from any of the nearby restaurants.

Plus, you can sip a boozy beverage from local breweries Wednesday to Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

So what are you waiting for? It is time to pack up your laptop and try this local gem for yourself.
