The US Embassy in Lima, Peru was designed by Arquitectonica in 1989 to meet strict security standards in a dangerous city. The design took inspiration from Inca structures, modeling the base like Cuzco and Machu Picchu. A grid of gold squares on the facade refers to Peru's mining heritage. Inside, the highly flexible floorplan allows for large contiguous spaces. The materials and terrazzo floors were chosen to reference Peruvian textiles. The building meets security requirements through its layered design and minimal windows.
