![]() With a green roof rising to 10 metres, which joins on to a walkway and masks the blank wall of the National Archive, the stately building, with its footprint of a stiletto heel, stands precisely in its place. In this way, the outward-leaning silhouette of the outer walls, with their rich relief playing with the light, acquires a distinct crystalline effect. In addition, the south and east gables have a striking texture: by repeatedly jumping 10cm outwards at every second storey, they add a subtle extra layer to the dynamic of the building. The outer walls are made entirely of glass. The shape of the volume, slim to the east and at the Utrechtsebaan, and broadly hinged out to the west and the city centre, makes optimum use of the location, and gives the building its dynamism and character as a result. The apartments are grouped around two lift halls, with seven apartments of around 120m2 on each storey. Nine sets of columns, made up of steel tubes fanning out from a foot, form a slender pillared nave, supporting the volume of the homes – 17 storeys – at a height of 20 metres, rising to 69 metres high. The tight location for the construction, the requirement for a substructure which is as open as possible, and the creation of flexible internal divisions for the apartments were the inspiration for designing a unique steel construction for the whole building. Above it runs a new footpath, with its entrance and lift halls between the long ‘legs’ of the building. The residential building La Fenêtre, on the corner with the station complex, therefore stands on a wedge-shaped raised pedestal, which contains parking garages and storage areas, on a level with the ‘boulevard’. In the new situation, the viaduct is transformed into an elegant ‘Prince Bernhard Boulevard’, creating the effect that the railway lines appear to run underground below the new ground level. In this context, and also with a view to functionality, making the area more lively outside of office hours, a prestigious residential building was required.Īnyone seeing the site before construction began would hardly believe there could be a place here for 115 homes, creating a more varied use of the space. The municipality of The Hague wanted to reconcile this infrastructure with the city once more by creating an integrated whole of mixed urban spaces and functions. Two large government buildings, the National Library of the Netherlands and the National Archive, stand with their backs to this area. Bevlogen € 3.The location for this residential building in The Hague is dominated by large-scale infrastructure from the second half of the 20th century: the railway yard with the Prince Bernhard viaduct above it, two viaducts for buses and trams at the side, and finally the Utrechtsebaan road.Es € 18.000,00 Toevoegen aan winkelwagen.Dubbel figuur € 60.000,00 Toevoegen aan winkelwagen.Dualiteit € 21.000,00 Toevoegen aan winkelwagen.Bevlogen € 3.900,00 Toevoegen aan winkelwagen.Body guard € 80.000,00 Toevoegen aan winkelwagen.The timeline so we see from left to right.
