The Resident and its surroundings
The district between Fluwelen Burgwal, Herengracht and Turfmarkt
forms the heart of The New Hague Centre development. Landmarks
in this newly developed neighbourhood are the Town Hall, Ministry
of VROM, Central Station, Spuitheater and Lucent Danstheater. |

Stadhuis (Town Hall)
Richard Meier's design for the Town Hall in The Hague combined
with the central public library was the winning design of a
closed competition. The solution for the urban developmental
inclusion of the complex in the city centre was the deciding
factor in the choice of Meier's design. As the urban routes
and the building lines are continued in the building, a logical
division of functions was created. Passageways and orientation
axes meet in the centrally situated atrium, the junction of
an architectonic combination of lines in different directions. |
