The objective was to create a design that reflects the Dutch tradition of transparency and openess.

This is what I hate about modern, "democratic" buildings. They always use a lot of glass to symbolize the openness of democracies, ie they're dull. This one gets a 6 because it's at least not as boring as the embassy in Berlin.

I think this building moves too much from trying to symbolize transparency and openess towards messyness, especially since its basic elements are not too original - though I think its okay 6.5/10

Not high, but interesting. Something else than other embassies. Modern, sober, but with dignity.

But:
"The objective was to create a design that reflects the Dutch tradition of transparency and openess."

This sentence is not original at all. Has been used for every newly-built Dutch embassy, I reckon.

I like the forrested gates and the facade, but other than that, it looks like an ugly box.

I actually quite like it, it's a shame though that the details are not as pronounced as they were on the renders, it would have been so much more better, but it is still nice.
