We pay our respects to their Elders past and present. Bates Smart is committed to honouring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society.

A true celebration of the environmental characteristics that make Australia unique

The Embassy of Australia, Washington, D.C.

AIA Architecture Award & Inside Award

The embassy is not an edifice or monument to Australia but rather a celebration of the traits we find so culturally important to us: an approachability, a uniqueness and an invitation for inclusivity. It sits as a confident and considered statement of our place on the international stage.
