Randstadrail station
Address
Prinses Beatrixlaan
2595 Den Haag
Netherlands
.
Randstadrail is a project for a new light urban rail network
between The Hague and Rotterdam and runs partly over existing
tram and railway tracks. This new viaduct is built over the entire
length of the Beatrixlaan, with a new station halfway. The
space-frame tubular construction follows the curve that Joan
Busquets has set out for the alignments and the roadways on the
Beatrixlaan. For a length of 400 m the viaduct is constructed from
a skeleton structure of rings of mild-steel strips with a diameter
of about 10 m, interconnected by diagonally set tubes to form an
open tube structure. The relatively great structural height of the
tube makes it easy to cover the large spans. The construction
will be supported by V-shaped columns and provides room for two
tracks for passing trains. Thanks to the big spans of 40 and 50 m
there are relatively few columns at street level. There is also
hardly any visual obstruction at eye level, so that social safety
and traffic safety are not compromised

Waterwijk Ypenburg

Stiemensvaart 48

Netherlands
http://waterwijk.ypenburg.nu/
.
Hagen Island offers an attractive image, for consumption by a
broad range of people. Clearly, the project does not aspire to
appeal to just an elite group of artistic souls 'receptive' to such
housing. Almost half the houses are for the rental sector, while
the rest are for sale at prices of between 3.5 and 5.5 million
guilders. One section of the neighbourhood is now inhabited and
signs of domesticity are already visible - flower pots, paved
paths, lace decorations. MVRDV styling, it would seem, has not
influenced residents' preferences. The large sliding glass doors on
each floor reveal the interiors ranging from curving plastic
bedroom kitsch to Scandinavian timber cosiness. The greatest
quality of these houses is just how smoothly they accommodate
the everyday. Personal touches do not detract from the overall
picture, as so often happens with housing schemes that aspire to
the title Architecture.

Beelden aan Zee
Address
Harteveltstraat 1

Netherlands
http://www.beeldenaanzee.nl/
.
In one of the busiest tourist centers of The Netherlands one can
find the Museum Beelden aan Zee. 'Sculptures by the sea ' is an
oasis of tranquility. It is built underneath and around an old
Pavilion erected in 1826 by King William. A quiet place filled with
sculptures of man. The work of the well-known Dutch architect
Wim Quist is at its best in this museum, in its surprising variety in
size, light, shape and level. The museum is built partly in a dune,
and has a large hall filled with daylight, patios and terraces. The
collection of mr. and mrs. Scholten-Miltenburg together with
changing exhibitions of contemporary sculptures have found a
unique haven near the sea.

Lyceum Ypenburg

Laan van Kans 3

Netherlands
http://www.lyceumypenburg.nl/
.
At Ypenburg, the new branch of the Atlas College of Rijswijk
occupies a characteristic location at the entrance to this
brand-new residential area. The programme has been divided
over four floors linked in space by large voids and staircases. The
main plan of the building is straightforward, consisting of a ring
of classrooms around a number of large lobbies. Daylight enters
the spaces within the ring through skylights and patios. Within its
deceptively simple and clear exterior, the building manages to
create a many-faceted world of light, air and space that does
justice to the theme of the Atlas College, ‘stirring splendour’.

City Hall & Central Library
Address
Spui 68
2511 BT Den Haag
Netherlands
http://www.denhaag.nl/
.
In the heart of the 12 storey complex is the 50m high internal
atrium: one of the largest indoor public spaces in Europe known
as the Citizens Hall. All local municipal offices, central and
public desk-facilities are grouped around the atrium. The
elements of this mega-facility are combined with a
semi-independent rental office building at its north-eastern end
and extensive shopping frontage throughout the ground floor. The
central library has its own entrance and is located at the extreme
northwestern corner, where its dynamic form imparts a strong
character to the principal plaza. Inside and out, the structure is
clad in white, porcelain-enamelled metal panels, measuring 85 by
180 cm. Subsequently, the whole building is set up by a multiple
of 45 cm. The glass roof of the atrium is supported by
free-spanning laminated timber trusses incorporating sunscreens,
maintenance walkways, and light fixtures. The inhabitants of The
Hague have nicknamed it: the ice-palace.

Netherlands Dance Theater
Address
Schedeldoekshaven 60
2511 EN Den Haag
Netherlands
http://www.ndt.nl/
.
The Netherlands Dance Theatre, completed in 1987, was
originally conceived in 1980 as an extension to a circus theatre in
Scheveningen, the seaside of The Hague. In 1984, the design was
adapted to a new site - the Spui Complex - in the centre. At that
time this new context was undergoing substantial change. Now
the Dance Theatre shares the Spui Complex with a concert hall
(van Mourik, architect), the town hall (white building by Richard
Meier) and a hotel designed by Carel Weeber (also the planner of
the complex). What would have been a flamboyant exterior
reflecting the holiday vernacular of Scheveningen, became, in the
city centre, a humble building (with the exception of the
billboard/mural), which almost disappears between its
extroverted neighbors. Although there was minimal collaboration
between OMA and the architects of the concert hall, the
buildings’ physical proximity generated a shared foyer - a 7 m
wide alley between the two buildings.

Paard van Troje
Address
Prinsegracht 12
2512 GA Den Haag
Netherlands
http://www.paard.nl
.
The biggest pop venue in The Hague has a new adaptable pop and
rock concert hall behind a classic exterior. The Paard van Troje
(Trojan Horse) can handle 1100 visitors in the main venue and a
cosy 300 in the smaller hall. The Netherlands National Trust for
Historic Buildings protected one of the two buildings that form
the centre, while the other building had only its authentic facade
left. By removing the old construction behind the historic facade,
a complicated problem of space and acoustics could be solved
efficiently: the small concert hall was positioned directly behind
the historic facade while the large concert hall was constructed
on the backside of the two buildings and is also reachable through
an adjacent street. The Paard van Troje is known for its eclectic
programming featuring: Pop, Rock Hiphop, Jazz, Blues,
Americana, world-music, stand-up comedy and
dancing.…sometimes even on the same evening.

Souterrain Tram Tunnel
Address
Grote Marktstraat 11
2511 BH Den Haag
Netherlands
.
Urban plans to make The Hague denser (space to expand is only
found inside the city, since it’s confined by sea, highway and
neighbouring cities) ánd minimize traffic on street level has urged
the municipality to go underground. The city had a long and
difficult process developing this multistory 1250 m long
underground tunnel with two stops for trams combined with 500
parking spaces. The construction floor was leaking and damaged
the surroundings. So the whole tunnel was entirely flooded to
keep surrounding buildings form collapsing. It got several
nicknames ‘tramtanic’ and ‘swimtunnel’. Construction could only
be finished under high pressure air to prevent the water to enter.
After 4 years of delay, costs largely exceeded budget (130 million
euro) and the Dutch government started asking questions. When
finished and all ‘problems’ left behind, the project won several
prizes. It definitely proved architecture can have a positive
effect when applied to the rigor of transport pragmatism.

.
For the northern part of seaside the boulevard of Scheveningen,
opposite of the Carlton Beach Hotel, the London-based collective
FAT (Fashion Architecture Taste) has designed a guard house, a
surveillance hut for a bicycle park, which is hidden inside a white
mound. The small building is part of a rampart with battlements.
The hut is contained in an object that is part monument, part
strange fortification and part folly, deriving from seaside
architecture, fortifications, lighthouses and earthworks. On top
of the mound there is a miniature model of a typically Dutch
house. The ‘House on the Hill' that “periodically catches fire”
i.e. frequently produces 'special effects' like bolts of lightning or
puffs of smoke, inspired by the nearby lighthouse. In 2005 the
FAT guard house received the FX Award 'Best Public Project' . In
2006 it was included in a new series of stamps dedicated to
contemporary art, issued by TPG Post (Royal Dutch Mail).

Bicycle Repair Shop
Address
Zeekant 1
2586 AA Den Haag
Netherlands
http://www.biesieklette.nl/stallingdenhaagstrandweg.htm
.
For the seaside location on Scheveningen boulevard the Dutch
artist/architect John Körmeling (Eindhoven) has designed a
pavilion which looks somewhat like a pre-war petrol station. The
little building is equipped with a marquee with room for a bicycle
repair shop. An efficiently furnished office space offers a view in
all directions. The roof's edge is decorated with typical ‘bicycle
words' like ‘pedal’, ‘fresh air for your tires’ and ‘friend’, in little
happy flickering lights. John Körmeling has a very unconventional
take on architecture and makes an art of building, urban planning
and visual art. He’s blessed with an infectious imagination. This
is reflected in his humorous and clever solutions to all kinds of
issues. John Kormerling has also built the Netherlands Pavilion at
the Expo 2010 in Shanghai (China) with his design ’happy street’.

Watervillas and Waterhoeves
Address
Hegemanwater 1
2497 ZE Den Haag
Netherlands
.
A cluster of eight houses forms a peninsula in the water. Its
character is wholly determined by its waterside location. The
superstructure is shaped like a boat; instead of a garden each
house has a large deck-like terrace, and there are places where
the young people can park their own boats. 4 houses,
4-under-one-roof, as it were, form a gatehouse, each one equal
with respect to location and view. Each house with its three
storeys offers a highly flexible layout. Apart from the traditional
layout with separate rooms, everything can be left open which
makes for enormous spatiality, while the house lends itself to
individual solutions. All 3 floors can be used as the living area,
while the ground floor, most of which is on the water, can be
used for sleeping. The ground floor can also be fitted out as a
completely separate surgery and/or office space. The large
partially covered terraces are not overlooked and therefore
provide a high degree of privacy (text from architect's website).

Villa Festen
Address
Rietgras 101
2498 Den Haag
Netherlands
.
This modern villa is located in the Biesland area, a new suburb of
Den Haag. The area is characterized by traditional brick
architecture but the urban plan prescribed a few private housing
developments at specific points in the area. The organization of
the house and its position on the plot is aimed at the sun. The
entrance, garage, bathrooms and storage rooms are all located at
the north east side. The living room, dining room, bedrooms and
the terraces are all located at the south side. A spacious garden
on the sunny side is created by moving the house as much as
possible to the north side of the plot. The living room has a glass
façade with large sliding doors. The house has a dynamic volume
by its terraces and cantilevering parts with a different character
on all sides.

De Baljurk
Address
Kettingstraat
2511 AM Den Haag
Netherlands
.
Archipelontwerpers produced a design for the renovation of 8
shops in the historical centre of The Hague. The street where
they stand formed an exception in the otherwise beautifully
refurbished city centre: the dilapidated dwellings above the
shops stood empty and many of the buildings were boarded up;
the public space was neglected. The client, property developer
Geste, wanted to build something that would give the
neighbourhood a boost. The façades of the buildings were
restored and behind them new dwellings were built, accessed
from a raised terrace. Below ground level is a large retail space
with a flexible floor plan. The 8th, corner building has a new
glass curtain wall draped in a golden steel mesh that lends the
whole project an exclusive air. Attention-getting was not the only
reason for choosing a sculptural form - it also alludes to the
formal idiom of the Art Nouveau architecture in the immediate
vicinity and to the sinuous course of the stream that once flowed
here.

These 44 dwellings are grouped onto one island of patio houses.
MVRDV suggested an introversion that would cover the demands

society. All the rooms in these houses are directed towards the
private patio offering total privacy. Each house has a direct
access to the street (text from website architects).

Centre Ypenburg

.
On the former airport Ypenburg, near Nootdorp, next to Delft, a
large new neighbourhood has been built, with a clearly defined
centre. A series of high-rise housing combined with commercial
space was designed by Rapp + Rapp and has a very urban
character, in stong contrast to the mainly single-family-dwelling
set up of the rest of Ypenburg. The skyline of these marking
towers glows in the dark and function as a beacon and general
orientation as they are clearly visible from far away. The design
is inspired by the Toscan city of San Gimignano with its (formerly
70, now) 13 medieval towers. These towers were built by upper
class families who wanted to outshine each other by building an
even higher tower. Apart from creating a wonderful new visual
identity for Ypenburg, Rapp + Rapp succeeded in making
interesting public space by narrowing the streets inbetween the
towers. This way the dense urban feeling is enhanced.

Ypenburg Watervillas
Address
Van der Krukwater 2
2497 ZE Den Haag
Netherlands
.
The borders of Dutch lakes are more and more colonized with
private properties. They reduce public accessibility of the lake
shores. In the Deelplan 10 area in Ypenburg, as part of MVRDV's
master plan, a series of watervillas was positioned at the ends of
the piers, peeking into a communal lake. MVRDV designed the
four villas as single-storey units, with a roof deck on top, they
can be glued together. This wooden amalgam can be lifted up to
12 metres high, allowing a water space underneath with private
water decks, a parking lot, a dock for private boats, and a
communal bench overlooking the lake, all positioned on wooden
decks within the reed. The owners can jump from the sky deck
through the house and down to the private part of the lake. Two
elevator and stair cores allow this lifting act. A balancing figure
appears (text from architect's website).

Gemeentemuseum
Address
Stadhouderslaan 41
2517 HV Den Haag
Netherlands
http://www.gemeentemuseum.nl/
.
In the early 20th cent. architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage
(1856-1934) was the foremost pioneer in the field of modern
architecture in the Netherlands. The controversial building of the
Gemeentemuseum was his crowning achievement. It includes
many innovative features on the use of light, dimensions,
construction, colour, climate control, and visitor facilities.
Visitors enter between 2 pylons and approach the building via a
covered walkway flanked by 2 ponds. The transition enables them
to leave the city and the cares of everyday life literally behind
them. The design of the museum is based on a grid composed of
squares and cubes with sides measuring 1.10 m. All the walls and
columns are located on the system lines and intersections of this
grid. The superstructure of the museum is built of concrete and
iron. The concrete skeleton was then faced with striking
ochre-coloured bricks. The brick walls are not load bearing. In
the 1930s, the use of reinforced concrete was still fairly new.

British School
Address
Vrouw Avenweg 640
2493 WZ Den Haag
Netherlands
http://www.britishschool.nl/
.
The new campus for the International School British School in
Leidschenveen, near The Hague, is taking the form of an easily
accessible cultural enclave. It combines a primary school,
daycare, sports facility and language centre. On the outside, the
rectangular campus aligns itself to the frameworks provided by
the polder landscape. It's like a small island surrounded by its own
roads which streamline the daily comings and goings of students.
On the inside, the school has created its own culture and the
students can learn in safety and in direct contact with nature and
one another. The British School in the Netherlands is responding
to the growing demand for international high-quality education
based on the traditional standards and values of the British
education system. Good behaviour and respect for others and the
world provide the context for an educational programme focused
on personal development. It is a refined international enclave
within the Netherlands, its host country.

CBS De Fontein
Address
Steenuillaan 2
2496 PN Den Haag
Netherlands
.
This project combines a primary school with an after-school
childcare centre and sporting facilities. By reducing the
circulation space it became possible to create a large inviting
hall for multipurpose use. The stairs can be used as a gallery and
a stage as well. The classrooms on the first floor are very
spacious due to the kinked roof. Large windows lighten the gym
(also on the first floor) with beautiful daylight. The use of warm
red masonry in the exterior as well as in the interior gives a warm
and strong expression to the building as a whole.

Nautical Centre Scheveningen
Address
Hellingweg / Landhoofd C
Den Haag
Netherlands
http://www.nautischcentrum-scheveningen.nl/
.
The harbour of Scheveningen is being transformed from a
fishermen harbour to a ship (yacht) yard with international
allure. The arrival of the Nautisch Centrum (Nautical Centre)
plays a big part in this. The location of the centre has several
aspects. It is situated on the abutment, with the small-scale
harbour on one side, and the harbour port with a clear view onto
sea on the other side. This situation asked for several scale
elements. The harbour side has a vertical section in which
balconies recede in the façade. As a result, this façade looks
more closed. The varying use of colours on the façades creates a
picture that refers to harbours that can be found in Southern
European countries. The sea side has a leading horizontal
advancement, with the balconies on the outside of the façade
giving a view to the open sea.

Housing Schilderswijk West
Address
Suze Robertsonstraat 10
2526 WS Den Haag
Netherlands
http://schilderswijk.net/
.
Siza designed two housing blocks with 106 dwellings in the 'social
housing' sector. The one building has 5 corners and the other 3.
The houses in the 4-layer high building have a so called
‘portiekontsluiting’, which means, the entrance is facilitated with
a stair, accessible from the street. The red bricks have a
rhythmic pattern of large square windows. On the corners,
several white smooth surfaces are made. In 1989-1993 a second
phase was realized, with 238 houses on the Doedijnstraat and
surroundings.

Chapel St Mary of the Angels
Address
Nieuwe Crooswijkseweg 123
3034 PN Rotterdam
Netherlands
http://www.begraafplaatslaurentius.nl
.
Located in the St. Laurentius cemetery in Rotterdam, this chapel
sits on top of a historic chapel from 1869 whose outline is still
visible as ruins of the original wall. Inside, the atmosphere always
feels intimate, regardless of the amount of people. The chapel
consists of a column-free space wrapped by a continuous,
undulating wall raised seventy centimetres off the floor, with a
gently curved floating roof above. This allows daylight to stream
inside through the strips of glass that run above and below the
wall, creating an ethereal quality of light that heightens the
spiritual experience of being between heaven and earth.
Adorning the intense blue wall are texts from the Requiem in
Paradisum in various languages, a reference to the surrounding
multicultural neighbourhood. Torch-like lamps illuminate the
gold-coloured ceiling from the inside out. A light beam falls into
the chapel through an opening in the roof, accentuated by the
rising smoke of burning incense.
