Saudi Arabian Embassy & Ambassador's Residence

Includes 9 drawings: 4 plans, 1 exterior perspective, 2 details: model; 2 combination drawings: 2 section I elevation. The site for the new Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is to occupy a prominent triangular corner in Canada's National Capital at Sussex Drive and Boteler St., with views over the Ottawa River and the distant Laurentians. The program called for three diplomatic functions: the Chancery, the Consulate and the Official Residence. Security of the functions was to be of the highest order, but also invisible, allowing the project to speak only of its graceful stately intent. The project developed the concept of perpendicular axes, one parallel to Sussex and the other at right angles to it leading into the complex. The first axis divides the major rooms of both the Chancery and the Residence. They are three storey masses with a two storey residential wing, along the ceremonial Sussex façade. The second axis assembles the entrance, the Ambassador's offices, and the Consulate building, terminating with splendid views over the Ottawa River. Along the Sussex Drive façade, a grand lawn with accompanying gardens is screened from the street by an open yet highly secure screen. The architectural vocabulary sought to create a language reflective both of the Islamic nature of Saudi Arabia and its presence in Canada's Capital. Hence the project was carefully proportioned in the Islamic genre, as well as developed with the mansard roof theme that is prevalent in Ottawa. Utilizing both stone walls and decorative screens, the project was to create harmony between the two nations in symbolic form.
