For one, the people are friendly, unlike many of today\u2019s fortresslike embassies. Yet Melbourne-headquartered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.batessmart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bates Smart<\/a>, along with the architect of record, DC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcct.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KCCT<\/a>, managed to create a secure, 260,000-square-foot facility for the Embassy of Australia in Washington D.C. that feels welcoming and nature-influenced, embodying the country\u2019s spirit. The hues on the exterior change throughout the day, thanks to treated copper panels, slender and vertically oriented. The rhythm of the facade continues in the central atrium, which connects ground and sky and serves as an organizing space. All around, sunlight dapples through the glass ceiling and vertical eucalyptus-veneer paneling that evokes native forests. Natural illumination also fills the staff area, where the feature stair links breakout spaces and encourages easy movement between and interaction among departments. Furnishings showcase Australian craft; custom rugs in key rooms, for example, are based on First Nations artworks. The result is at once warm, engaging, and, having earned LEED Gold certification, sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50%
