The Challenge

The client aimed to create more than just a service center; it needed a physical space that:

  • Bridges physical and digital interactions seamlessly.

  • Delivers a human-centered, innovative and accessible experience.

  • Serves as a statement of the organization’s vision for the future of public services.
