An embassy building has an important people connecting task to be relevant as a cultural space representing his home country. A respectful contact with the cultural exceptions from both countries leads to the development of a symbiotic space.
Achievements of Austrian culture, research, technology and production are joining the specific Thai cultural way of life and construction traditions. Separate individual buildings are grouped themselves round common space, open to the exterior to provide a natural air cooling system.
The large inner court planted with trees and shadowy follows the traditional Austrian court typology and offers an inviting atmosphere for qualitative cultural events. Source of HOLODECK architects.
