This journal discusses the topic of this year's OVERHAUL competition that aims at achieving the design and features of a futuristic service station. Our designed service station is located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that aims to redefine the future of sustainable mobility. The service station incorporates cutting-edge modern technology, renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydro, and kinetic energy to generate its current in space, and innovative design elements to provide a unique and efficient user experience while promoting sustainability and environmental consciousness.

With the increasing demand for sustainable and environmentally-friendly transportation solutions, the need for innovative service stations has become more important than ever. This journal presents a futuristic service station designed to meet the growing number of electric vehicle owners in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, while also providing a platform for promoting sustainable mobility, while at the same time not forgetting our roots- the use and availability of petrol and diesel which we have used for ages together.

The service station is designed to be a sleek, modern, and visually appealing structure that incorporates renewable energy sources such as solar panels and hydroelectricity to power its operations. The service station includes multiple charging stations for electric vehicles and offers fast-charging options that can charge a vehicle's battery up to 80% in just 20 minutes. The charging stations would be equipped with state-of-the-art technology that allows customers to monitor and control the charging process through a mobile app.

The service station also features a convenience store that offers a variety of snacks, beverages, and other essentials for customers on the go. The store is stocked with sustainable products that are locally sourced and packaged in eco-friendly materials. The station also has a co-working space for customers to come and work indoors while their vehicles are charging, with comfortable seating, high-speed Wi-Fi, and charging outlets for electronic devices.

The service station has been designed to be highly accessible, with ample parking spaces and easy access for people with disabilities who would visit the place. The station is also equipped with a range of safety features, including 24/7 surveillance, emergency lighting, and fire protection systems. From the lower place, a central 90% transparent tower with its unique slender column has an internal waterfall that acts as a visual core for visitors and at the same time recharges electricity. Step running through them takes the user to the above floor where a café for family and friends is available that opens up to an OAT. Also, there is a gaming lounge for younger kids who came come and play various games from Xbox to PlayStation or any VR/AR headset-integrated games.

The idea was to challenge all the important or/and stereotypical questions regarding a service station and break free from that in the near future. Than making the entire place a quick run and through, elaborate fragranced fauna, futuristic design and modern service with public spaces encourage visitors to pause here for a while and then leave. the main problem of pollution today can also be tackled by installing carbon-absorptive gases, promoting walking along the kinetic floor which absorbs energy as you walk by, and also providing a bicycle park here. At last, widening the user group to not just mere drivers and petrol filling staffs but people from many other age group and field of interest.

In all of this, the Malaysian art and the context specification had to be highlighted which was the use of straight lines in their public building to emphasize the monumentality but also the strength n scale, but in this service station, it's modified to triangles the simplest geometry formed from a straight line and multiplying them to form the design.

In conclusion, the futuristic service station in Kuala Lumpur represents a paradigm shift in the design and functionality of service stations. It offers a unique and efficient customer experience while promoting sustainable mobility and environmental consciousness. The service station sets a new standard for service stations of the future and serves as a model for sustainable transportation infrastructure.
