Embassy of Australia Winner Institutional Category

Recently completed, the Embassy design draws inspiration from the Australian landscape and has been crafted with sustainable materials, while embodying a future-forward aesthetic and informality. The Institutional winner in the 2024 IIDA Design Competition which honors outstanding, innovative and original interior designs, the Embassy celebrates artists and makers from across Australia. Visitors can experience Australian art in various forms from the exterior as well as the interior. Other notable features include the optimization of light and views, the expansive glass atrium floods the interiors with natural light and the approachable footprint takes advantage of the location. The various high-performance systems work with the design, not against it and play a vital role in the project as well as in underscoring the commitment to sustainability.
