Opposite the large
botanical garden, the new embassy settles. Dressed in glass and
aluminium on the outside, and in wood, stone and leather on the inside,
the embassy articulates around three spaces: the atrium, the
chancellery and the loggia facade. The atrium, bathed in filtered
zenith light through rods of sycamore; the chancellery and the
ambassador’s chamber with its magnificent decoration: handcrafted
leather and wood-panelled alleyways; the loggia facade, with its white
aluminium panels and stainless steel profiles, shelters the access to
the embassy and the national symbol. |
