Austrian Business Lounges

Set within the forthcoming Terminal South—opening 2027—the proposal reimagines the lounge experience by consolidating four existing lounges into one singular hub. As Austrian Airlines undergoes a major brand renewal, the design aimed to serve as both a flagship and a future-forward statement.

Inspired by nature’s topographies and Austrian craftsmanship, the concept merges fluid architecture with precise detail. The spatial flow transitions seamlessly across three levels, creating zones that reflect the rhythms of travel—rest, focus, recharge. The design responds to diverse user needs: from short transfers to long layovers. Intuitive circulation, acoustic comfort, and material warmth come together to create a quiet, elevated experience. Each space—HON Circle, Business, and Senator—was envisioned to share a unified identity rooted in Austrian character, without pastiche.

Curated sensory layers—light, sound, scent, and texture—define each environment. The lounge was imagined as more than a waiting space: a place of pause, clarity, and comfort between destinations. With this vision, Veech x Veech strives to reignite the thrill of air travel, offering unforgettable customer experiences at the heart of Austrian Airlines’ Vienna hub.
