Definitely going with the Brits. I like the old school design.

Gotta hand it to the Brits on this one!
 I do kind of like the German one, though.  Just curious, how does the American embassies look in each respective country above?

Here's some in Ottawa...
US http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:A...ttawahiver.JPG horrid, over-fortified, Orwellian. Hardly a neighbourly embassy. I don't understand how the US can build something like that right smack downtown near the Canadian parliament (I believe it's physically the closest embassy to the parliament) and not be a little wary of inspiring a negative, paranoid and over-dominating image in Canadians. Russia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:R..._in_Ottawa.JPG not much better but at least not as huge and arrogant, and at least that entrance is a bit... cheerful? China http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:China%2C_Ottawa.JPG not very Chinese-looking, hardly has right character. Looks like an old monastery High Commission of the UK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:U..._in_Canada.JPG Ew. Bad, bad and ugly office block. France http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:France%2C_Ottawa.jpg Not the best example of French architecture. But at least it looks somewhat French. Germany http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:G..._in_Ottawa.JPG Pretty banal I would say Japan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Japan%2C_Ottawa.JPG Shy and uninteresting Algeria http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:A...%2C_Ottawa.JPG Beautiful building, but nothing Algerian about it Cuba http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cuba%2C_Ottawa.JPG A Cold War bunker (way to beat the paranoid-ness of the American one  )Czech Republic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:C...%2C_Ottawa.JPG Modest  Hungary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:H...%2C_Ottawa.JPG Really beautiful building there!  India http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:India%2C_Ottawa.JPG Cuba meets Japan meets UK. not cool. Indonesia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:I...%2C_Ottawa.JPG Not as bad as it looks on this photo actually. I've been in it, it's actually alright. Very open. Kuwait http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Kuwait_Ottawa.JPG I find this one kind of cool. Very arab. Saudi Arabia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:S...%2C_Ottawa.JPG Same about this one! Switzerland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:S..._in_Ottawa.JPG Positively Swiss

CCIP,
The Switzerland building looks like a ski chalet.

I think the British one stands less chance of being attacked. It looks more like a country club than an embassy

The German one will look nice when its finnished. :hmm:
The French one looks like a small multi-storey car park. Quite like the Swiss one, minimalist chic. And our embassy, well what can I say; classic style comes to mind
