The Embassy of Finland in South Africa is located in Pretoria. This project was an extensive renovation of the old embassy building, where both work and reception areas were updated to meet today’s standards. Wood was brought to the forefront, especially through the striking slatted ceilings in the lobby and meeting rooms, as well as with wooden floors and interior doors. The color palette draws inspiration from tones familiar to Finns—blue and white, forest green, and warm earthy shades of brown.
