Veech Media Architecture (VMA) is finishing the final stages of the studio for the sculptor Vadim Kosmatschof. Located in the mountainous landscape 70km outside of Vienna, VMA uitlized the panoramic view to inspire a series of designs to adjust the programmatic configuration onto the steep sloping site.

VMA was invited to submit a proposal for the Aspern Urban Development Information Center as the catalyst for the largest urban development in the Danube region. The briefing centered around a temporary building which would incoporate offices, exhibition spaces, a multifunctional event space, café lounge, and an observation deck to overview the construction site. VMA responded with a modular 3d stacking of container elements defining the exterior architectural form and sculpting out an interior volume slated for the dynamic event space. The container element and the resultant configurations allowed maximum flexibility in adapting/modifying the building shape due to the content/user needs over the expected 10 year building site and would provide a strong brand image for the Aspern region – a landmark in progress.

The minimalist atrium space responded to the restrictive briefing requirements with a compact, efficient, and elegant design proposal

VMA´s proposal for the design of a new passive house Kindergarten building projected a vibrant touch of modernism to the outer 21st district of Vienna. The briefing called for three groups of classrooms and secondary ancillary spaces for learning, playing and group activities. The concept incorporated three tubular forms housing the central classrooms with double height glass atriums used for the group spaces with direct access to outdoor terraces and playground facilities. The multi-colored pixel glass façade augmented the strict geometry of the structure and responded to the children´s world of kaleidiscope fascination.

VMA is currently working on a luxurious single family residence in the Jukowka district of Moscow. The spiral shaped form of the central building stretches over four floors linking all the primary spaces into one continuous spatial experience. The exterior façade corresponds to the site with a structured steel geometry with integrated glass translucent and transparent panels to interact with the forest tree structure surrounding the buildings.

The Urban Media Tower for ORF (Austrian Broadcasting Corporation) was a central urban feature for the four week activities surrounding the EM_2008 in Vienna, Austria. Strategically located adjacent to the Burgtheater the 17.5 meter multi-purpose temporary building incorporated a 60m² TV Studio, outdoor terrace, offices, technical spaces and three integrated LED video screens for live broadcast. Due to the planned five day construction phase and positioning upon the tram line tracks special consideration and intensive planning was necessary in reference to erecting the main modular structural frame, external aluminium cladding, and lighting/acoustic constraints in broadcast media. The glimmering metallic facade gracefully transformed the area surrounding the historic cultural landmark buildings into a contemporary trans-Europe public zone linked through a media event.
