In the heart of Berlin-Mitte, the new embassy is being established on Tiergartenstraße, nestled within an international diplomatic environment with neighbors such as the embassies of Japan, Italy, and Saudi Arabia. This strategically located site borders the extensive greenery of the Großer Tiergarten to the north and benefits from close proximity to important cultural and diplomatic institutions.

Furthermore, the five-story building accommodates various functions: from the ground floor to the third floor is the embassy section, while the ambassador’s residence is integrated on the fourth and fifth floors. A basement serves as underground parking as well as technical and service areas. The clear spatial concept supports efficient use of space and ensures functional workflows.

In addition, the façade design is characterized by the use of traditional bricks in varying shades of red, arranged both horizontally and vertically. This design connects modern architecture with cultural identity. Complementing this are steel grids inspired by traditional Jaali structures and ceramic tiles from Bangladesh, integrated harmoniously.

Moreover, the outdoor area is thematically divided into three gardens, referencing important monuments and cultural symbols of Bangladesh. Overall, the building presents itself as a place that skillfully unites tradition and modernity in Berlin.
