VITA Rest + Connect
Bridging Local and Rider Communities in One-Stop Commercial Civic Space in Bangsar
VITA Rest + Connect is where civic and commercial hub comes together to provide inclusive space for the food delivery riders with opportunities for them to rest, gather, pickup delivery and most of all allows collaborative connections with the local community. It acts as the central supportive points to all the suggestive pit stop nodes in Kuala Lumpur. The commercial part of the building also introduces multiple socio-economic activities, potentially making the area more lively and vibrant. It also serves as a place for community interaction through the introduction of public green space. The design encourages riders and the local to socialize and collaborate with intersection of activities and spaces.
