The Dutch Embassy in Berlin, by architect Rem Koolhaas, was a very well designed building. I have always enjoyed the work of Koolhaas and OMA, so I was expecting alot. Unfortunately, security protocols mandate no pictures anywhere near the entrance or interior. So for more detailed shots you'll have to check out the website. One particular aspect of the Dutch culture I found very interesting was the fact that a certain percentage of the total building cost (I think 2 percent) had to be dedicated to purchasing art for display as you can see by the large work displayed on the wall below.
PS. They also had a super cool couch in the lobby, if anyone snuck a picture let me know.
