Embassy staff
The Embassy is staffed by a team of officers from the New Zealand Defence Force, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE), New Zealand Ambassador to the United States, New Zealand Police Force, New Zealand Customs Service, Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, and Ministry of Education.
Location
The New Zealand Embassy to the United States is located at 37 Observatory Circle, part of Embassy Row.
Design
The chancery was designed by the New Zealand architect Sir Miles Warren. In 1954 the present embassy site was bought to accommodate all staff in one building but the decision to build was not taken until 1975. The building won for its designer the 1981 New Zealand Institute of Architects National Award. The brickwork of the chancery won the Annual Brick Award for the Eastern States of the U.S. Nearly 25 years later, a renovation of the chancery has now been completed.
