Located in an exclusive neighborhood just behind “Embassy Row” in Northwest Washington, the Heritage House serves as the residence for the Australian Ambassador to the United States. Originally constructed circa 1920, the mansion presents an excellent example of the Colonial Revival style. A facility master plan developed by QUINN EVANS | ARCHITECTS outlines the facility improvements necessitated to meet modern standards. Recommendations describe comprehensive long-term architectural and building systems upgrades and projects to be undertaken in phases by the Embassy. The resulting building project renovated many of the major rooms in the house providing improved amenities, replacing fixtures, and upgrading all interior finishes. The completed rooms are richly-adorned and feature an elegant materials palette of finely detailed wood, patterned ceramic, and marble accented by decorative paint treatments, wallcoverings, textiles, and reupholstered furnishings. |
