The State Comptroller Building

The state comptroller building, located at the highest point of the national precinct, utilizes its

distinctive location to overlook the surrounding buildings. It represents in accordance with the

values of the organization, a restrained and modern building that conveys a sense of dignity and

quality. Fragmentation of the traditional stone into separate elements by the use of transparent

curtain walls together with a modular grid of windows combined with randomly located sliding

shutters creates simple yet sophisticated elevations. The main atrium creates a skylight interior

courtyard which together with the open elevators, contributes to a sense of orientation and

expresses transparency clarity, and integrity.

The planning of the State Comptroller building won the tender in the DBOT framework and

was selected with an emphasis on the design component.
