Egyptian Embassy in Juba (Capiital of South Sudan).

SIGNIFICANCE: South Sudan is the newest country in the world, which gained its Independence in 2011. It is really important that Egypt open its first Embassy in the capital Juba, because it will maintain diplomatic relations and serve the people there.
PROBLEM: South Sudan is at the equator, thus it has heavy rains. The sun rays are almost most of the day perpendicular on the land and building surfaces.
AIM: To make the building in-harmony with the environment and as Eco-friendly as possible through green roofs, solar panels, clerestory and high building surface area for Ventilation and Natural light. Another goal is to bridge the South Sudanese and Egyptian though cultural activities in the public area. Last but not least, is to improve productivity of the employees and their residential facilities though small gym, pool and entertainment center in their residential facilities.
