Revitalizing a Historic Landmark: Harmonizing Heritage, Functionality, and Sustainability.
The comprehensive renovation of the Belgian Embassy in Brasília breathes new life into an iconic property while honoring its cultural and architectural legacy. Located on a site historically gifted by former President Juscelino Kubitschek in 1980, the project reflects a commitment to preservation, modern functionality, and environmental stewardship.
ATRIA is leading the full retrofit of the Belgian Embassy Compound, encompassing the chancery, the ambassador’s residence, and staff housing—covering a total floor area of 25,000 m². Our scope includes architectural and engineering consulting, tender preparation, and construction management.
This project encompasses the full revitalization of the embassy complex, with a focus on the ambassador’s residence, the chancery, and the diplomatic staff quarters. A key highlight is the meticulous restoration of the gardens, originally designed by renowned Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, ensuring the preservation of their historical significance and natural beauty.
