Algiers, Algeria

A new British Embassy building by John McAslan + Partners is inserted into a late 19th Century garden. The landscape proposal sets the building into the sloping site and re-organizes the gardens with much consideration given to preserving and transplanting existing mature vegetation. The garden consists of four parts including; the central garden, a formal fore-court of 21 mature palm trees, a woodland hillside garden, and the ambassador’s private garden. Each have designed as individual elements held together by the strength of the radial plan.
