De Hoftoren - Ministry Headquarters

The Hague, The Netherlands

 

 

"This exceptional office building matches the cosmopolitan character of The Hague city centre...is certainly an outstanding feature of The Hague's Skyline"
Statement, spring 04

 

"...the best new building of recent years."
The City of The Hague

 

De Hoftoren - Ministry Headquarters of Education, Culture and Science is at the centrepiece of the city's urban redevelopment near the Central Station.  The design, chosen through an international competition, features a single tower and low bar building clad in vertical slabs of light sand coloured stone.

 

 

 

This major tower, at 144m, is one of the tallest in The Netherlands and a civic landmark for the Hague. The orientation of the office plan establishes broad views towards the “Malieveld” (a central green space) and the North Sea and will be a slender 'spire like' profile on the city skyline. The colour of the materials refer to nature, the use of clear glass, natural silver of anodized aluminium and sand-coloured limestone suggest clear water, silver clouds and broad sand dunes, respectively, as seen from the tower heights.

Critics have acclaimed De Hoftoren as "perfect for the site" in height and form.
