Embassy of the Czech Republic Addis Abeba

Idea projektu

The main idea was to preserve the development of urbanism in the surrounding area. Urbanism is made up of crumbly small objects that are in dense buildings. Dense build-up is more shade and faster airflow. Therefore, my proposal is based on this principle. Crumbled objects in close proximity to some parts covered to ensure a pleasant climate.

Popis projektu

The land is divided into 4 parts, which connect the visually connected surrounding streets. The main entrance is from the south side of the property across the square. In the western part of the property is located housing for local forces, free space next to this section is dedicated to later development. in the southern part of the land there is an official part and a visa office. in the northern part of the land there is an accommodation zone, where part of the housing of the embassy and the ambassador's housing is separated.

Technické informácie

The inspiration for selecting materials was traditional materials in Ethiopia. The walls are made of brick, plastered with clay plaster. I designed two types of roofs. There is a sloping roof in the living areas and in the other rooms the roofs with a minimal gradient are made of bamboo. Rainwater drainage is in the collecting containers that serve for irrigation and flushing of the toilet.
