Official Residence

An official residence is a designated home provided by the government for a country's leader or high-ranking officials. It serves as their private residence and a venue for official functions, meetings, and ceremonies. These residences are often symbolic of the office's authority and status, and they may also function as administrative hubs. Examples include the White House in the United States or 10 Downing Street in the UK. They are maintained with public funds and are distinct from personal homes, emphasizing transparency, tradition, and the responsibilities of public service.
