House of Sweden (Embassy of the Kingdom of Sweden)

From www.designbuild-network.com:

The construction of the House of Sweden began in Georgetown Harbor during April 2004. The project involved the construction of a new purpose-built Swedish Embassy and a trade exhibition area and conference centre.

The building was developed by Lano-Armada and Hoffler Harbourside LLC on the Georgetown Harbor site on the bank of the Potomac River, along with a six-story, 115,000ft² office complex on the northern side of the site. Lano-Armada and Hoffler Harbourside LLC purchased the site from Crescent Real Estate Equities in 2002.

The exterior skin of the building is clad with screened glass and gives the building a transparent appearance. On looking through the building, the inner structure is visible along with an excellent view of the Potomac River and Rock Creek beyond. At night, floodlights illuminate from the transparent skin within.

The green roof helps the building absorb and filter storm water runoff, while simultaneously reducing interior building temperatures and extending the life of the roof membrane.

Other sustainable strategies that have been used in the construction include the use of renewable building materials, construction recycling, and alternative heating and cooling systems that substantially reduce energy and equipment lifecycle costs.]]>

From www.thaiembdc.org:

The Royal Thai Embassy began its operation in 1901 as the Siam Legation with Minister Plenipotentiary as its Chief of Mission. Its first office was located in Arlington, Virginia, before moving to Washington, D.C., in 1913. While in Washington, D.C., the Office was relocated several times, until the Royal Thai Government decided to acquire a plot of land at 2300 Kalorama Road in 1920. By 1921, a new office was built and the Embassy was later upgraded to the Ambassadorial level in 1947. It was there, where our Embassy remained for 46 years, until 1993.

With the increase in the number offices affiliated with the Embassy, it became necessary to acquire a new building. Therefore, in 1990, the Royal Thai Government gave the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the mandate to undertake the acquisition of the present premises at 1024 Wisconsin Ave., N.W., to accommodate all offices but one under the auspices of the Royal Thai Government. ]]>

From www.polandembassy.org:

The Embassy of the Republic of Poland is located at 2640 Sixteenth Street, NW in Washington, DC. The building, designed by the architect George Oakley Totten, was completed early in 1910, including the elaborate iron and glass marquee over the front entrance. It was built for Senator John B. Henderson, who two years later added two stories and a basement; Totten again was the architect for this modification. The white limestone structure, with its six balconies and two porches, presents a well-balanced exterior. The style is derived not only from seventeenth and eighteenth century French houses, but incorporates major elements of English style, such as the use of double-hung windows. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of its design, as seen from the street, is that the basic structural elements and ornamentation have been kept relatively simple and consistent. The integration of the balconies (four limestone and two wrought-iron) is particularly effective.

In 1919 the first Polish envoy to the United States, Prince Kazimierz Lubomirski, purchased the property on behalf of the Polish Government. Only a few changes have been made to the building throughout the years. The main rooms look today just as they did in the 1911 photographs, with the exception of some minor changes in lighting and wall coloring. In 1978 a team of specialists was brought from Poland to completely restore the ornamental plaster and woodwork, returning the interior to its original grandeur and artistic integrity. ]]>

From www.philippineembassy-usa.org:

Construction of the current chancery began in 1991, and was completed in 1993. Located in the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C., near Dupont circle, the chancery was built on a trapezoidal island on Massachusetts avenue that is bordered by 17th and Bataan streets, with N street at its rear. It is a four story beaux-arts building, with its smooth-finish precast, the chancery blends nicely with the traditional limestone structures of the embassy row.

Tradition weighs strongly in the building's inset cylindrical corner on the east elevation, and in its granite base and concrete cornice work. Its architects exerted deliberate efforts to create a not-so-discordant theme in the high-tech sheen of the metal window mullions and frames, whose brightness makes a sharp contrast with its photochromatic tinted glass. With its complementary landscape, the structure exudes a dignified, elegant and positive presence in Massachusetts avenue.

Entering the chancery's main entrance and stepping beyond the security vestibule, one is met by a sweeping double staircase and a distinguished wainscoted marble-floored corridor leading to a commodious receiving room. The intricately designed-carpet in the Ambassador's office were made by a distinctive Philippine carpet company which handiwork graces the Oval Office of the White House.

For all its traditionalism, the building, with 55,000 gross square feet area, includes a nicely tucked-in two-level underground parking garage that was crafted with the convenience of its users and in mind. It is one of the few chanceries in embassy row designed with a pre-wired local area network and an unobtrusive electronic security system.]]>
