Designed by Kristin Jarmund Architects , the Norwegian Embassy was formed as a freestanding building in the garden of an older villa which housed the Norwegian Embassy. After completion of the new embassy, the villa was demolished to make way for the new residence. The embassy was completed in 2008 and the residence in 2012.The property size is roughly 5000m2. The Norwegian Embassy is built on a sloping site towards the north,overlooks the Kathmandu valley, and on clear days has spectacular views of the Himalaya mountain range. The building itself is integrated into the tilted landscape, allowing plateaus of outdoor space to extend into the building. The site is surrounded by high walls with neighbouring buildings built right up to the property.
