The Qatar government retained The Georgetown Design Group with Mokhless Al-Hariri as the lead-architect to fully renovate the building.

In keeping with applicable regulations, the project required statutory reviews and approval by several U.S. governmental agencies including the Office of Foreign Missions, United States Commission of Fine Arts, the District of Columbia Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, and the Advisory Neighborhood Commission.

The Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs opted to implement the project in accordance with Mokhless Al-Hariri's design.

The architect Mokhless Al-Hariri said, "the renovated building's design is intended to reflect Qatar's dynamic growth and expending diplomatic and economic role."

The fully renovated interiors include office suites, conference-rooms, special-event spaces, and "highly customized finishes".
