Retrofit
Retrofit the Embassy's Official Residence to merge accessibility, functionality, and historical preservation.
As the main representational area of the Embassy, the renovation design of the Official Residence had as a main objective the creation of an accessible route from the main entrance to the internal representational area. The existing house was built in levels, accommodating to the slope of the property.
The main kitchen was also fully renovated to accommodate catering possibility of use in large events, as well as to accommodate family use on a daily basis.
Historically significant spaces were restored or enhanced as part of the historic preservation initiatives aligned with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
