Mexican Embassy in Guatemala

A central patio (measuring 24 meters, in diameter) with its great 30- meter.high trees articulates the two volumes of the building: the Embassy proper and the Consulate. The Embassy, whose main entrance gives onto the center of the patio, has two floors of offices with plenty of natural light. The ambassador’s office is marked by the upper-floor balcony. The Consulate and Cultural Institute have independent entrances from the street. The composition is closed for security reasons, and the forms used recall the Mayan culture common to both countries.
