Taking inspiration from Italy’s rich history and iconic landmarks, we carefully incorporated elements like the historic Lighthouse in Mogadishu into the design. These inspirations added depth and meaning to the structure, serving as a bridge between two nations.
Furthermore, we leveraged the property’s oceanfront location, ensuring that the Embassy provided breathtaking views of the sea. While aesthetics were essential, safety was equally paramount. We integrated the strictest safety infrastructure seamlessly into the design, ensuring the protection of the Embassy and its occupants.
The result was a remarkable architectural achievement, embodying the spirit of Italy in the heart of Mogadishu. DOCOL’s dedication to excellence in architectural design shone brightly in this project, reinforcing our reputation as a leader in creating iconic structures with both cultural and practical significance.Â
