Vite Auto Parts occupies an 36,000 square foot space divided between two floors located in Austin, Texas. In order to differ from a typical work space environment, the design promotes group work as well as individual productivity. Areas to occupy range from private decompression zones to open and inviting work cafes/areas. The design of the building was inspired by the likeness of auto shops by using limited color and exposed materials such as steel details, concrete floors, and wood.
