The Miller Hull Partnership designed the new U.S. Consulate General in Guadalajara, Mexico. The brief called for a ground-up structure to support American diplomacy while welcoming both Mexican and U.S. citizens in the state of Jalisco. The building’s facade is particularly striking, clad in a curtain wall of proprietary ballistic glass that invites employees and visitors to gaze out at the picturesque trees. Above, a steel canopy shades the entire complex, referencing the vernacular of the palapa.
