British Ambassador's Residence - Kuwait

The Residence is located within the Embassy compound. It is a two-storey building featuring an attractive colonnaded terrace and balcony and is typical of colonial buildings of British India during the 1930s. The main rooms are much wider than those typical of traditionally constructed Kuwaiti houses at the time, and the ceilings are supported by steel girders specially imported for the purpose. Elsewhere traditional wooden ceiling beams are found. The cost of construction was met by the British Indian Government.

The Embassy garden, swimming pool and tennis court are also part of the Residence.
