The renderings for the long-term masterplan highlight some of the buildings in its first phase: a new office building, a support annex, and landscaping that is intended to "provide a secure campus for America’s mission in India."

A statement from Weiss/Manfredi indicates that their redesign of the Embassy Campus "defines a sustainable vision for the Embassy’s future that builds on the legacy of the historic campus to create a new foundation for American diplomacy in India."

The architecture of the new buildings was inspired by India’s "enduring tradition of weaving together architecture and landscape." These features include a series of cast stone screens, canopies, reflecting pools and garden walls that "introduce a resilient, integrated design language that brings the campus into the twenty-first century." Construction of the first phase is expected to start this spring.
