About The Royal Norwegian Embassy project involved creating a new at-grade main entrance, adding the Atlantic Ocean Hall, a versatile indoor-outdoor ceremonial space, a comprehensive interior remodel, and exterior enhancements to maximize natural daylight. This renovation's primary goal is to offer a sustainable, functional, and contemporary office environment for foreign diplomats and staff while preserving the embassy's historic character. Upgrades such as an improved thermal envelope, energy-efficient windows, and sustainable landscaping align with the project's environmental objectives, ensuring it maintains a dignified yet distinctive presence on Embassy Row.
