Orica House, Melbourne

ICI House (now known as the Orica house) was completed in 1958 by architectural firm Bates, Smart and McCutcheon. It was the first building allowed to exceed Melbourne’s height limits set in the early 1900s, and until 1961 was the tallest building in Australia.

On 2 February 1998 ICI Australia launched ‘Orica’ as its new trading name. This led to the building’s name change from ICI House to Orica House.
