Embassy Buildings : Government Architecture Information

Major Governmental Overseas Buildings + Projects from around the world



Embassy Buildings

We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Embassy Buildings. We aim to include buildings / projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across the world. The focus is on contemporary Embassy buildings but information on traditional Embassies is also welcome.

We have 2 pages of Embassy Architecture selections with links to many individual project pages.

Clockwork Embassy Cameroon - 14 May 2012
The design of the new Swiss Embassy in Yaoundé pays tribute to its renewed presence in the Cameroon and a respect for the uniqueness of the site. The resulting proposal is an elegant ensemble that encapsulates the identity and self-image of the Swiss people and their values. As a result the core concepts that guide this proposal are an expression of Swiss traditional know-how, and an understanding of what the Embassy can represent and achieve.

French Embassy Beijing - added 4 Apr 2012
"The very image of French rigor and elegance, the building has come to represent France on Chinese soil. With a garden at its heart, the 20,000m2 embassy consists of the Chancellery, Consulate, diplomatic residence and private apartments of the Ambassador. Innovative functionality and a bioclimatic design are the result of a site-specific architectural approach and the requirements of a changing world."
