架构师提供的文本描述。挪威大使馆是在挪威大使馆所在的一座老别墅的花园中作为独立建筑而形成的。新大使馆建成后，这座别墅被拆除，以便为新住宅让路。使馆于2008年竣工，住宅于2012年竣工，房产面积约为5000平方米。

挪威大使馆建在一个向北倾斜的地方，俯瞰加德满都山谷，在晴朗的日子里可以看到喜马拉雅山脉的壮观景色。建筑物本身与倾斜的景观结合在一起，允许户外空间的高原延伸到建筑物内，周围是高墙，相邻的建筑物就建在这片土地上。

The Norwegian Embassy is built on a sloping site towards the north,overlooks the Kathmandu valley, and on clear days has spectacular views of the Himalaya mountain range. The building itself is integrated into the tilted landscape, allowing plateaus of outdoor space to extend into the building.The site is surrounded by high walls with neighbouring buildings built right up to the property.

这座新住宅位于大使馆正后和使馆上方的高架高原上，住宅的主要形式是一个精确的立方体，以开放的中庭为中心元素，下翼作为“花园”墙的一部分，建筑形式创造了一个坚固的结构来抵御地震，同时也引用了尼泊尔传统的建筑类型。

The new residence sits directly behind and above the Embassy on an elevated plateau.The main form of the residence is a precise cube with an open atrium as a central element and a lower wing integrated as part of the “garden” wall.The building form creates a rigid structure to withstand earthquakes and at the same time refers to traditional Nepalese building typology.

三个明确定义的户外空间沿着场地的中轴线将住宅和使馆建筑连接在一起。-南至正门广场/庭院。-中央花园，由建筑物本身包围。-朝北的露台，它在大使馆附近的花园中创建并建立自己的地址。

A series of three clearly defined outdoor spacesalong the central axis of the site connect the Residence and Embassy buildings together. - the main entrance square/courtyard to the south. - the central garden, enclosed by the building itself. - the north facing terrace, which creates and addresses itself to the adjacent garden at the embassy.

由于安全方面的限制，建筑物内的空间和房间都是以“背靠”邻近的物业和邻近的道路为导向的。他们被包裹起来，向中庭和大使馆敞开大门。公寓楼的代表和服务功能位于一楼，大使的私人公寓位于一楼。

Due to security restrictions the spaces and rooms within the building are oriented with their “backs” to neighbouring properties and the road adjacent to the site. They are draped around and open up to the atrium and towards the embassy. The representational and service functions of the residence are located on the ground floor while the Ambassadors private apartment is located on the first floor.

北面的部分露台是大使公寓的私人户外空间。露台向中庭和北面开放，既允许白天的阳光，也能看到喜马拉雅山的景色。工作人员宿舍和服务设施位于围墙沿线，并封闭在入口处。大使馆和住所都使用了当地提供的类似材料。

A partially covered terrace towards the north is intended as private outdoor space for the Ambassadors apartment. The terrace opens up towards the atrium and to the north thus allowing for both sunlight in the daytime and views to the Himalayas. Staff quarters and service facilities are located along the perimeter wall and are closed off towards the entrance area. Similarlocally available materials were used in both the embassy and residence.

尼泊尔是世界上最贫穷的国家之一。在建筑过程中，材料、劳动力和设备的供应往往短缺。此外，在建造大使馆期间发生了相当大的政治动乱。挪威顾问一直致力于该项目的初步设计阶段。详细项目和随后的工作图纸由当地顾问与Kristin Jarmund Arkitekter合作完成。该建筑使用了一名当地承包商和尼泊尔工人。这些项目是“尼泊尔手工制造的”。

Nepal is one of the world’s poorest countries. Supply of materials, labour and equipment was often in shortage during the construction process. In addition, there was considerable political unrest during the construction of the embassy. Norwegian consultants worked on the project up to the preliminary design phase. The detail project and subsequent workings drawings were done by local consultants in collaboration with Kristin Jarmund Arkitekter AS. A local contractor with Nepalese workerswas used for the construction. The projectsare“ Hand made in Nepal”.
