U,S, Embassy, Port Moresby design interior
Located in Papua New Guinea, U.S. Embassy, Port Moresby was designed by Karn Charuhas Chapman & Twohey (KCCT). The vision for the compound echoes a marine theme to reflect the coastal region of Papua New Guinea’s maritime culture. The site is designed with two distinct zones; a representational front lawn and entry plaza and a rear recreation area that provides an aesthetic balance between diplomacy and community. Local artisans will design inlaid panels serving as gates for the campus walkways that have been inspired by the colourful art and symbolism of the local culture.
A cantilevered glass photovoltaic canopy shelters the entrance walkway. The 100 KW solar power plant reduces demand on the local power grid and provides a zero emissions energy source. The interior design utilises renewable and local materials to achieve the client’s goal of LEED certification. The executive office spaces contain paneling made of 100% sisal grass, and the consular waiting areas and the gallery use local Papua New Guinea red rosewood paneling.
