contents Given a lattice Veech group in the mapping class group of a closed surface $S$, this paper investigates the geometry of $Γ$, the associated $π_1S$--extension group. We prove that $Γ$ is the fundamental group of a bundle with a singular Euclidean-by-hyperbolic geometry. Our main result is that collapsing "obvious" product regions of the universal cover produces an action of $Γ$ on a hyperbolic space, retaining most of the geometry of $Γ$. This action is a key ingredient in the sequel where we show that $Γ$ is hierarchically hyperbolic and quasi-isometrically rigid.
