This project aims to provide a whole new experience in a vehicle. The supportive concept should stay within people’s daily life. The engagement of the time gap and spacial shifting is the role to make people’s lives stable with the smooth flow of emotional state. The concept is about offering people to recognise the individual condition and the current situation for better mental condition and stable emotion. Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages is essential to sustainable development. Social relevance and industrial background of the wellness have been witnessed these days such as rapid growth of the economy and researches about an urban mental issue. It is signs of an eagerness to pursue a balance of life and encouraging mindfulness.

The thesis will deliver a proper solution to design a product with proposing in-car activity and experience to cover the original subject within the automotive design field. Benchmarking of existing therapeutic solutions was a one of the main approaches for the research. Every design solution is proposed based on the fundamental element of the current solution in the market such as the verified mental care process, resources and basic principle. Architectural trend and structure were adopted to propose the different atmosphere and composition to tackle the emotional element within the moving world.

The vehicle frames the new role beyond the smart transportation. Through various fields of mental solution, the concept, STAY, takes a part of the role of consistent emotional care in daily life. Its preventative approach blends into people’s lifestyle. It is a great opportunity for the automotive industry to be a user-friendly medium.

The activity in the mobility is a tool to communicate between passengers and car. It is a flexible platform that users can tell their story and share their feelings to achieve a better emotional health. The STAY is equipped with the re-arrangeable objects and modules. It is about creating a personalised space to offer an opportunity to empathise with the present and how he or she feels.
