I used to drive by this regularly. It's just off 16th Street, backs onto Rock Creek Park. There's a lot of "minor" embassies along 16th Street, the ones who can't afford to move into Embassy Row. Some gorgeous old brick buildings, however!

"Although Kazakhstan a glorious country, it have a problem too: economic, social and Jew."
Alan Wilkening 6 years ago
It’s for Hobbits seeking political asylum in Kazakhstan.

What functional purpose does that overhang provide? If its decorative IMO it adds nothing and just looks awkward.

In a capital city it’s an embassy, in any other city it’s a consulate.

If I passed this building, I wouldn't even look twice before telling someone it was a house.

The person who assembled this list really has a thing for Brutalist architecture and its Post-Modern offspring.

It used to be all pale yellow 26 years ago. Went there for adoption papers for our children.

Is this the old building or the new building the Russians built for them that, after it was completed, was discovered to be *completely* honeycombed with listening devices?
Helga Kelly-Nagy 6 years ago
I am surprised it has access so close to roads, most of them have more restricted access

You can fond 350 of these "buddy bears" standing on different locations in Berlin. They are painted by artists and are Art.
Katarina Sujono 6 years ago
The bear is actually the symbol of Berlin, nice to see some embassies incorporate that

I am from Slovakia but not sure what is so hilarious about this building? :)
Abigail Kreiss 6 years ago
The title of the article says "Amazing," not funny. This is a pretty nice historical building, Isn't it? Lots of the examples seemed less than " Amazing"

Many embassies, are dumps in office buildings because the visitors do not buy land or real estate.
#25
Canada in Tokyo, Japan
Teigan de Boer 6 years ago
Its actually neater than this as there is an old park that is beside the building that is held in trust between Canada and Japan and its agreed to never build on the land. The roof also has an amazing micro representation of Canada in a rock garden water installation. Its a fantastic building.
Boris Krivy 6 years ago
Typically Canadian. Safe. (I am Canadian and proud of it)

I hate soviet buildings. Argh. Time to upgrade! Concrete boxes with, sometimes, mosaics
Laura Raymond 6 years ago
Perfect example of the Soviet Brutalist style of architecture. Ugh-ly.

Croatia in Canberra, Australia
Helga Kelly-Nagy 6 years ago
The embassies in Australia are on larger land and not accessible but tend to be made in the character of the country they are from. It is lovely if you go to the area in Canberra and drive around and see all the different buildings
Aahzmandus Pervect 6 years ago
Yes, it's just a building. Nothing special or interesting about it.

I love how most of these are influenced by the architecture and building styles of the area, with a modern touch.

The Modern buildings are so gorgeous. I want their architects’ phone numbers.
