Embassy and consulate complex for the Islamic Republic of Iran in Abuja, the new capital of Nigeria. Designed with reference to Iranian architectural principles of garden and pavilion, adapted to the hot climate. Features lightweight construction beneath an expansive shade-casting roof, latticed and porous walls, maximum use of favorable regional winds, and natural ventilation. An orderly grid of horizontal surfaces sliding over one another creates a relatively open, transparent, and welcoming space.
