Project Description:
The Project includes providing construction services for a New Consular Compound (NCC), using the Bid-Build delivery method, consisting of 11 buildings on a 60,000 square meters site (Total Building Area: 20,337 GSM). The new buildings (see table below with list of area by building) include the 3 story New Office Building (NOB), Staff Housing (SDA), 4 Compound Access Control Buildings (CACs), Marine Security Guard Quarters (MSGQ), Chief of Mission Residence (CMR), Consular General Residence (CGR), Utility Building, SPX Support Annex/Warehouse, Recreational facility and perimeter wall.
The complex maximizes its open space both on the site and within the buildings giving visitors and employees a feeling of comfort within a secure compound. The NOB is clad with stone and aluminium. To maximize solar control, the office building is oriented on an east/west axis with sunshades and a tensile structure (befitting the vernacular of the region) along the façade protecting the windows in the morning and afternoon. Interior finishes in public spaces employ the exterior palette for continuity and impact. A grand staircase connects a two-level gallery in the central core. Materials featured throughout this space include marble flooring, wood panelling, and glass handrails. Other buildings on the Site similarly use the stone finishes of the NOB and others use a cementitious coating relating to traditional stucco finishes. The New Office Building incorporates the latest in technical, physical and environmental security including building automation, life safety and emergency power generation per the requirements of the Department of State (DoS).
