Event design – as part of the design process for the corporate design of the ÖVA Passage

The architecture and corporate design accentuate the 1950s charm of the passage, taking into account monument protection and a restoration report. The upper floors of the building have been converted, and the utilization concept now includes office and residential units in addition to commercial space. The façade has been restored to its original condition. As part of the redesign of the corporate design, typenraum developed a visual communication concept for an “interim event” in which local artists and start-ups brought the passage to life before its reopening.

Two recurring elements characterize the design: a thin, surrounding aluminum frame with an anodized finish gives the impression that the contents are floating. The acrylic glass panels are painted with a dark metallic tone on the back and feature graphics on the front, creating an effect of spatial depth. Concealed fastenings emphasize the light, delicate appearance.
