When the Australian Government sought to build the largest diplomatic post in the world in Jakarta, Codus director Socrates Capouleas was tasked with keeping the vision alive and compliant. The complex comprises Chancery, Head of Mission (HOM) Residence, 32 staff accommodation units, and medical and recreational facilities—each component with distinct character and function. The new buildings fully meet Australia’s representational and current security requirements.  The design and construction comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA), the current Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) regulations and the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), whilst Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) principles were used in the development of the buildings and grounds.
