KONINGIN JULIANAPLEIN, NETHERLANDS, THE HAGUE, 2002

Mixed-use development on the square next to The Hague`s Central Station

Koningen Julianaplein has long been a vacant transition area between The Hague's historic city centre, a modern office quarter, Malieveld park in front, and the central station behind. OMA has designed a large three-legged structure, 93 metres tall, that gives definition and identity to this in-between urban space.
