架构师提供的文本描述。位于肯尼亚首都内罗毕的瑞士新大使馆，由总部位于卢塞恩的建筑师ro.ma(Roeoesli)设计。

Text description provided by the architects. The New Swiss Embassy in the Kenyan Capital of Nairobi, designed by Lucerne-based architects ro.ma (roeoesli & maeder gmbh, dipl. architekten eth bsa), is an architecturally superior building that represents Switzerland in an appropriate way. At the same time, it incorporates local building practices and local companies and manages to bring together the required aspects of functionality, safety, and sustainability in a coherent spatial structure.

通过允许实际建筑物从围墙中生长(用于复合安全所需的)，产生螺旋空间关系，该螺旋空间关系对整个化合物进行帧，最终在中央两层结构中。建筑的扭曲、多方面的造型尊重现存的独特的树木填充景观。其响应于稍微倾斜的面向北的场地,其具有楼层的分层布置。接收大厅连接建筑物的夹层部分并形成复合物的中心。

By allowing the actual building to grow out of the enclosing wall (required for compound security), a spiral spatial relationship is created that frames the entire compound, culminating in the central two-story structure. The twisting, multifaceted shape of the building respects the existing distinctive tree-filled landscape. It responds to the slightly sloping north facing site with a split-level arrangement of the floors. The reception hall connects the mezzanine sections of the building and forms the hub of the complex.

东非农村地区反映在建筑的个性上，特别是外墙和周边墙暴露出的混凝土的红棕色。因此，这座建筑呈现出所谓的“咖啡土”的颜色，这是肯尼亚首都各地的土壤，其丰富的红色色调源于高铁含量。宽宏大量的窗户是另一个引人注目的特征，它的几何投影为外墙提供了阴影。玻璃表面反射植被，使建筑物本身成为景观的一部分。

The East African countryside is reflected in the individual character of the building, particularly in the red-brown pigmentation of the exposed concrete of the outer façade and perimeter wall. Thus, the building takes on the color of the so-called "coffee soil", the earth found throughout Kenya's capital, which owes its rich red hue to the high iron content. The generously dimensioned windows are another striking feature, framed with geometrical projections that provide shade on the façade. The glass surfaces reflect the vegetation and make the building itself a part of the landscape.
