Sir Walter Osborn McCutcheon
Architect Sir Walter Paul Osborn McCutcheon spent his whole life working for the Victorian architectural firm Bates, Smart and McCutcheon. McCutcheon was very focused on design quality, and was awarded the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects’ Victorian Street Architecture Medal three times.
Under McCutcheon’s direction, Bates, Smart and McCutcheon designed the ICI building in Melbourne (completed 1958). Until 1961 the ICI building was the tallest building in Australia.
