The embassy and the ambassador's residence are housed in a single building, designed by the Malagasy architect Henri Randrianarisoa and build by the German construction firm Fundamenta. Randrianarisoa incorporated elements of the Rova of Antananarivo, the former 17th century royal palace of Madagascar, as well as colonial-era and modern Malagasy design elements into the building.
The chancery has three floors and a nearly square base, with four risalits extending from each corner. The entire house is accented in a red earth tone, symbolizing the brick-red soil of Madagascar. The front is dominated by the central entrance, over which the seal of Madagascar (a stylized Emblem of the Malagasy Republic) is displayed. The façade ends with a balustrade consisting of small columns in the European Baroque style. Behind it rises a steep and shingled tent roof in a design typical of Malagasy architecture.
