I've got to go with Longaberger Office Building in Newark FTW. Incorporating a picnic basket into the design of a large office building was genius. With the exception of the coffee building, the others are either small, single room structures, water towers or just buildings with interesting pediments.

I used to eat donuts. I still do, but I used to, too.
