美国驻危地马拉城新使馆位于危地马拉城历史中心东南九公里处，由一座18,800 平方米的总理府大楼和带地下车库的辅助建筑组成。

大使馆坐落在一块相对较小的陡峭地块上，周围是山谷和深林峡谷。设计团队采用创新的梯田法来稳固极端地形并组织场地，在为游客和工作人员提供宽敞的室外花园的同时，还整合了园区项目。

The Embassy is situated on a relatively small, steeply sloping lot, surrounded by a mountain valley and deep forested ravines. Using an innovative terracing method to stabilize the extreme topography and organize the site, the design team was able to integrate the campus program while providing generous outdoor gardens for both visitors and staff.

办公楼从地平面上看是两个互补的条形建筑，一个是石质基座，另一个是玻璃塔楼。底座通过其材质和与场地的关系体现出一种泥土的质感，而塔楼则以开放和透明为特征。石质基座的灵感来源于玛雅建筑，而玻璃塔楼则象征着危地马拉和美国之间乐观的外交关系。塔楼和底座的交汇处是一个庭院，构成了建筑的核心。宽敞的广场和领事馆花园有遮阳棚保护，为大量领事馆访客提供了一个舒适的等候区。

The office building emerges from the ground plane as two complementary bars, a stone base, and a glass tower. The base reflects an earthbound quality through its materiality and relationship to the site while the tower is characterized by openness and transparency. The conceptual form is reflective of the two countries, the stone base is inspired by Maya architecture and transforms into a light and airy tower to symbolize the optimistic, diplomatic relationship between Guatemala and the United States. Communal programs surround a courtyard at the intersection of the tower and base, which forms the heart of the building. A generous plaza and consular garden are shaded and protected by canopies, providing a hospitable waiting area for a large volume of consular visitors.

新使馆毗邻几个重要的绿地，包括卡亚拉 Jacarandas 生态公园和卡亚拉生态和运动公园。设计创造了大量的森林和原生植被区域，与这些绿地相连，提供水源补给，抵御自然灾害，并为生物多样性提供庇护。

The new Embassy is located next to several significant green spaces including the Parque Ecologico Jacarandas de Cayala and Parque Ecologico y Deportivo Cayala. The design creates significant areas of forest and native vegetation that link to these spaces, providing water recharge, protection against natural disasters, and shelter for biodiversity.

大使馆的目标是在能效和可再生能源方面超越联邦绩效目标，与同类新建建筑相比，能耗降低了 26.5%，新办公楼 9% 的能耗由太阳能光伏发电提供。使馆的设计通过在现场处理和再利用废水来减少场外流量，所有灌溉用水都由这一再生资源提供。此外，使馆将使用滞留池来匹配开发前的现有雨水径流，滞留池可以减缓水的释放，减轻对水质和邻近斜坡稳定性的风险。

Targeted to exceed the Federal Performance Goals for energy efficiency and renewable energy, the Embassy reduces energy consumption by 26.5% over a comparable new building and provides 9% of the new office building’s energy consumption with solar photovoltaics. The Embassy is designed to reduce offsite flows by treating and reusing wastewater onsite, all irrigation water is supplied by this reclaimed resource. Additionally, the Embassy will match existing pre-development stormwater runoff flows using detention tanks which slow the release of water, mitigating risk to water quality and adjacent slope stability.
