Australian Embassy

Project Summary: ARCHITECT: BVN COMPLETION DATE: 2017 BUILDER: Bouygues Thai VSL Australia LOCATION: Bangkok Thailand PHOTOGRAPHER: John Gollings SECTOR: Cultural The Australian Embassy in Bangkok Thailand, designed by BVN creates an authentic Australian atmosphere through its design and material choices. 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.
