New building of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Berlin-Tiergarten.
The embassy building consists of two parts, the semirotunda and the main wing at the back, connected by a glass atrium. The outdoor facilities are artistically designed with fountains whose water surface reflects the building's architecture.
While the traditional Arabic ornamentation is taken up in a metal veil hung in front of the façade of the semirotunda, wall structures in the atrium symbolise water movements and thus refer to the central importance of this element in the Arabic living space.
The design focus is on the use of glass and natural stone, which are also used in the interior, complemented by high-quality wooden surfaces.
