The competition, while giving freedom of formal and spatial interpretation, required a major attention to the existing buildings. Ahmadistudio started and developed the project from an urban scale vision and inserted the new volumes in full respect of the surrounding environment. The guidelines set out in the preliminary study made it possible to find a rational approach to the functions and the required space. Ahmadistudio has chosen to maintain the existing volume adjacent to the road while the central volume area has been changed. The central building of the embassy has an extremely linear form and a functional composition. The aesthetics division of the facade wants to draw the division into cantons.
