The new Canadian Embassy is located on one of the city’s steep hills with a great difference of 9 metres from front to back. The building consists of an administrative tower and a low-rise, more public pavilion with a linking multi-storey space featuring a grand stair. This stair is accompanied by wide wall panellings made of wood veneer, which can also be seen in the suspanded ceiling panellings and in-room wall panellings. By the skillfull combination of veneer and glass, the embassy has an extremely simple but elegant interior, that is in a harmony with the modern and solid outside appearance.
