Theatre Diligentia, one of the oldest theatres in the Netherlands and located on the Lange Voorhout in The Hague. From the outside Diligentia has a classical identity. Once inside the building reveals a light filled, modern core, the foyer, located at the former courtyard of the existing building ensemble. Through various cut-outs in the core and the original walls around the courtyard the various buildings and spaces are dynamically connected and the layering of the separate buildings in time and space has been made visible.
