Integrated User and Information Interfaces
Charging, assistance and information displays are integrated into the central service area, with circulation and operating height considered in the design.
Integration with the Site
Column finishes, colours and seating can be discussed to suit the landscape, together with foundations, cable routes and maintenance clearances.
