Numerous shading devices were put in place at the US diplomatic complex in the Mexican city of Guadalajara, which was designed by The Miller Hull Partnership to be “unquestionably of its place”.

The light-coloured building is set on a 3.4-hectare site in the city’s Monraz neighbourhood, an area that combines historic and modern architecture. The property was owned by a single family and held a house, a small office building and green space.

The consulate was previously located in a leased building in downtown Guadalajara.

The new compound includes an office building, entry pavilions, a residential structure for Marines, support buildings, and recreational spaces such as a basketball court and swimming pool. It also contains two underground parking garages.
