A new project ViaDirect x Ascenstar in Singapore with the Canberra Plaza shopping center!
The Canberra Plaza shopping centre, located in northern Sembawang, was built by the Housing & Development Board (HBD), the government agency responsible for public housing development in Singapore.
Opening in December 2020, the Canberra Plaza shopping mall it is designed over three floors and combines a floor area of almost 11,000 square metres and is connected to the Canberra MRT station by a footbridge.
A popular place for locals and tourists alike, it offers a wide variety of food, activities and shopping venues to suit all tastes.
The mall has countless retail outlets, a supermarket, but also restaurants such as Mcdonald’s. It also has clinics, a water playground and other recreational areas.
Canberra Plaza was equipped with digital wayfinding kiosks for its opening using ViaDirect. The project could take place thanks to Ascenstar which provided the furniture which could supplement the software of orientation and information ViaDirect. In total, 3 vertical wayfinding kiosks were installed.
We had already collaborated with Ascenstar for the Oasis Terraces centre in 2019 and it was with great joy that we repeated this project.
The orientation software is perfectly adapted to the complex and the activities it offers by proposing an accessible and dynamic interface for all, easy to use.
The solution is adapted for PRMs who can lower the interactive menu to the height of their choice.
