The OEAMTC (Austrian Automobile, Motorbike and Touring Club) was to build a new headquarters on Baumgasse in Vienna’s Third District by 2016. The design succeeds in handling the complex schedule of spaces required and the difficult urban situation in an apparently effortless and sovereign manner. An emphatically independent building is created that impressively embodies the specific qualities of the OEAMTC. The goal was to develop a building that consistently takes account of the OEAMTC’s impressive range of different functions – from test hall, counter hall, conference rooms, TV studio, staff restaurant, call-centre, social areas, office atrium to helicopter support point – and that also depicts the OEAMTC business philosophy of transparency and openness.
