Escampstaete
Living with a sustainable appeal
On the edge of Houtwijk, along the bustling Escamplaan, stands the Escampstaete. A beautiful blend of wood, light facade panels, and spacious balconies.

De Kroon
Situated between Central Station and the Spui, next to the new Ministries of Foreign Affairs, stands De Kroon, a 131m high rise residential tower including office- and commercial space.

An important reference for the building was the early high-rise typology of the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century in Chicago.

The stadium strikes a bold and somewhat tough pose, it seems. The light reflects on the aluminium citadel, as it radiates strength and daring. The high glass facade in front of the atrium counters this impression, as does the interruption in the lining of the roof and the irregular distribution of windows. These are the inviting and playful elements added to the home of The Hague’s football club.
Experience is number one
When the club left its old home in the Zuiderpark the fans feared a loss of atmosphere... More
