ARMENIAN EMBASSY IN BELARUS

The project is executed in a contemporary mixed style, incorporating elements characteristic of early 20th-century American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Certain interior details feature motifs and ornamental patterns drawn from Armenian vernacular architecture and traditional art. A significant decorative component of the interior is the collection of reproductions of paintings by renowned Armenian artists of the 19th–20th centuries, including M. Saryan, V. Surenyants, I. Aivazovsky, A. Hakobyan, G. Bashinjaghian, and P. Terlemezian, as well as graphic works by A. Kojoyan. Many rooms also display portraits of prominent Armenian figures from the Soviet period—Admiral Isakov, Marshal Bagramyan, General Bebutov, I. Orbeli, A. Toramanian, and Alexander Tamanyan. The authors of the embassy’s interior sought to emphasize the significance of Armenian cultural and historical achievements not only for Armenia itself but also for the international community.

Natural materials are widely used throughout the spaces, including marble, travertine, and merbau and wenge wood. Marble floors with inlaid ornamental patterns lend ceremonial grandeur to the interiors, while the combination of dark merbau tones with an ivory-colored background creates an atmosphere of elegant austerity.

The design of the Ambassador’s office is particularly noteworthy. Decorative plaster alternates with vertical wooden elements, creating a textured and refined composition. All radiators are concealed behind carved decorative panels featuring Armenian motifs. The resulting interior possesses pronounced national character, dignity, and a distinguished sense of cultural identity.
