## Notice

The Ambassador's Residence in Mexico City is to be part refurbished. Designed by Eric Bedford, the building forms part of the FCO's Designated Residence list and whilst not officially listed it is regarded as a heritage building. The Residence has two core functions: -Principle location for delivering/ providing representational activities in Mexico for the British Government -Family home for the Ambassador and their family. The private family areas of the residence are dated, as are the VIP bedrooms. There is a lack of functional family spaces, with poor living, cooking and dining facilities. The Residence's ability to cater for events is limited by a poorly laid out kitchen, which does not meet commercial standards. Likewise, there are accessibility challenges for guests. In addition, there is a variety of backlog maintenance items, affecting the internal fabric of the building and there is an aspiration to provide a sustainable source of energy through the property.
