We have partnered with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations for more than 25 years designing, upgrading, and preserving embassies and consulates that represent our nation to the world. Our experience has given us an in-depth knowledge of foreign building codes, designing for diverse topographies and climates, international construction standards and project delivery methods, and unique energy requirements. From Rome to Tel Aviv, Bogota to Manila, we are dedicated to designing safe and secure facilities that further the US mission, while recognizing the need to create functional, welcoming, and healthy workplace environments that promote democracy and justice abroad.
