Archimid was engaged by the Army Engineering Authority as the main consultant and architect for the construction of the New Cabinet of Ministries building in the New Administrative Capital. The 85,000 sqm Cabinet building incorporates the Prime Minister’s executive office, Cabinet Conference halls, General Secretariat offices, administration offices, and high-level ceremonial and media facilities.

The Cabinet building is an iconic anchor located at the beginning of the central axis of the ministries buildings and opposite the Parliament building. It serves as a main gateway and central location for communication between the ministries. The design motif is inspired by configurations of the key of life, “Ankh,” creating a unique brand that links the cultures of Old and Modern Egypt. The power of design becomes evident when these units meet and are repeated, expressing the Egyptian fabric and the solidarity of citizens from various sects and their scientific, cultural, and artistic qualifications. This unity and diversity symbolize the growth and progress of the Egyptian state.
