A piece of Australia overseas

The embassy is designed to be a piece of Australia in Thailand, using Australian materials and a colour palette directly inspired by the outback. The red brickwork and unusual shape create a silhouette reminiscent of Australia’s great landmark, Uluru.

A Stunning Curved Feature

The central feature of the embassy uses White Oak Click-on Battens in a custom profile designed for the project. Sculptform worked closely with BVN throughout the design process to develop a custom profile which achieved design intent and budget requirements. The flexibility of the Click-on battens system allows for custom profiles to be integrated into the established system easily.

Contrasting Colours

The exterior areas of the embassy also feature Click-on battens, this time in Spotted Gum. The deep, rich colour of the Australian native Spotted Gum creates a beautiful contrast with the concrete forms used throughout.
