New flythrough of the future U.S. embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, currently under construction. The compound and individual buildings are designed to coexist with the desert landscape through the use of indigenous trees and plants for shade and cooling as well as the use of innovative facade materials that mitigate extreme heat and blend with the surrounding desert environment. The siteโs perimeter is screened by bermed landscaping and low walls of local stone and desert plants. The outward surfaces of the buildings feature temperature modulating, earthen hues of light-colored concrete, natural stone, and metallic sun screens, interspersed by a shading canopy of palms and greenery. The working and living experience of embassy staff is a central design driver, with a focus on bringing natural light, airflow, and landscape views to workspaces, and offering a range of indoor and outdoor communal and recreation spaces. Morphosis Partner Arne Emerson notes: โBy using the myriad of constraints and parameters an embassy must adhere to as design opportunities, we were able to create a compound that places people, community, health and wellness, sustainability, and the desert landscape at the center of our design while supporting the United Statesโ mission for diplomacy in Saudi Arabia."

OBO is excited to announce the completion of a lease fit-out in Port Vila, establishing the first U.S. Embassy in the South Pacific country of Vanuatu. The new U.S. Embassy Port Vila symbolizes the United States' commitment to expanding diplomatic engagement in the region and strengthening relationships with our Pacific neighbors Ambassador to Papua New Guinea Ann Marie Yastishock, Acting Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and External Trade of the Republic of Vanuatu, Matai Seremaiah, Ni-Vanuatu and U.S. officials, and community members celebrated the opening at a dedication and flag-raising ceremony on July 19th, 2024. โIt is indeed a great achievement to see that after 37 years of warm and friendly relations we are gathered here to witness this groundbreaking event in our relations. I would like, at this point, to congratulate the U.S. government for this important decision,โ Seremaiah said in his official speech. The secure and functional facilities will enable diplomacy between the United States and the Ni-Vanuatu government, fostering collaboration on climate change, economic development, and maritime security. The embassy will continue to build people-to-people ties, as the Peace Corps has done since 1990.

It takes teamwork to make the dream work! Thank you to RICHรRD KENNEDY ARCHITECTS and our partners for supporting OBO in providing diplomatic facilities that enable positive engagement worldwide.
From the start of working with the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations on the new United States Consulate General in the border town of #Matamoros, Mexico, the team recognized the great potential this project could have in fostering a sense of stability, optimism, and diplomacy in the region. The Design Educates Awards celebrate and recognize creative, innovative projects that, in addition to excellent aesthetics, incorporate added valueโsuch as educational potential, storytelling elements, the stimulation of critical thinking, and the ability to influence emotions or behavior. Today, we are incredibly honored to share that the new Consulate General has been recognized with a #DEAward for its positive impact; commonly referred to as the "Embassy Effect". As architects, our philosophy remains grounded in the belief that great design has the profound potential to create positive change for people and the environment, and this award is a reflection of that commitment. Congratulations to the entire team, and thank you to Design Educates Awards esteemed jury for this recognition.

OBO's Architecture and Design Manager Susan Kennedy and Art in Embassies Curator Claire D'Alba along with artist Diego Olivero presented a case study at the AIA National Conference on art commissioned for the recently completed U.S. Embassy Guatemala City. The case study explored the intersection of art, diplomacy, cultural heritage, and design. OBO and the artist discussed how to dually and equally represent two different parts of the world while respectfully translating Guatemalaโs history, art, architecture, landscape, and culture into the built form for the U.S. diplomatic mission.
