Seoul, 11.2019
The new Swiss Embassy in Seoul was awarded the Korean Architecture Excellence Award 2019 in the administrative buildings category. The Swiss embassy, designed by Burckhardt+Partner and which opened in May 2019, is a contemporary take on the traditional Korean “Hanok” house that also meets the stringent requirements of an embassy building. xmade GmbH collaborated on the development of the challenging envelope of the building, where high Swiss standards were achieved through the research on local construction solutions.
