The world’s largest US Consulate Construction set to be completed in 2027.

The new $537m U.S. Consulate General reflects the dynamic forward-looking spirit of Lagos. The diagrid façade draws on local design traditions to create a high-performing and resilient structure.

Located in Eko Atlantic, a newly constructed mixed-use district designed to protect Lagos from rising sea levels, the new U.S. Consulate maximizes the impact of landscape to create a place a respite and to serve as a proactive model of resiliency in a rapidly growing urban environment.

Lagos, Africa’s most populous city and one of the fastest growing mega-cities in the world, is famous for its traffic and congestion. However, the coastal landscape of the Lagos Lagoon supports a unique and rich flora, much of which has been lost to development. Inspired by the natural environment, the lush and welcoming Arrival Court establishes the importance of landscape on the new consulate campus, a theme that is continued throughout.

Inspired by the winding channels of water making their way to the ocean though the Lagos Lagoon, the gently curving site geometry encourages the movement of wind and water across the site, creating cool microclimates and making the stormwater management strategy visible as a design feature. The buildings are pushed to the edges, maximizing open space at the center–the site’s green lung.
