Embassy Reconfiguration and Extension Bamako, Mali

The British Embassy (BE) in Bamako is situated in its own small compound and there is a requirement to provide additional space. The main building is in a poor state of repair and suffers from ongoing maintenance issues incurring significant costs. There is an under-provision of space within the BE compound and consequently, there is an opportunity for estate optimisation, converting an additional villa and additional plot to provide additional space provisions connecting the BE into one place.

There are two main buildings on the site, Villa A, which is to be refurbished and Villa B, the two villas will be linked by a covered walkway. There is also an additional plot (Plot C) which is required to be upgraded for car parking and smaller buildings. Below is a plan showing the overall layout of the compound including a key identifying the major items at the site.
