建筑师自述。莫桑比克的荷兰大使馆的位置靠近大海，并在莫桑比克首都马普托的郊外。建筑压着一个四方并缓坡的基地的边界，从而为围墙围起来的花园腾出空间。
From the architect. The Dutch embassy in Mozambique is located close to the ocean and just outside the centre of the country’s capital, Maputo. The building has been pushed to the edge of an orthogonal, gently sloping site so as to leave room for a walled garden.

气候方面的考虑在设计中占有重要的位置。由于这里是南半球，建筑向更凉爽的南面敞开，而它的背面更为封闭，从而既能得到阳光，又能将高温留在海湾。
Climatological considerations played an important role in the design. Since this is the southern hemisphere, the building opens up to the cooler south side while its north face is much more closed, designed to admit light while keeping the heat at bay.
