AvB Tower

The Hague, The Netherlands

Wiel Arets Architects progress construction on the AvB Tower in The Hague, the Netherlands

The Hague, December 2012 - The AvB Tower will be located on the Anna van Bueren square in the center of The Hague and is an extension of the ‘commuter-leisure’ concept currently emerging in the world’s metropolises. The Anna van Bueren square serves as the lobby for AvB Tower, within which a hybrid program will be realized that can be seen as an extension of the commuter-leisure concept.

The first five floors will accommodate the lobby, shops, restaurants, offices, a lecture hall, and library, where the ‘academic-dweller’ finds a communicative atmosphere. The 400 spacious ‘guest-rooms’ will function as studios with floor-to-ceiling sliding yellow-tinted glass panels, providing views to the square, the skyline of The Hague, and the North Sea beyond. Visual contact with the urban outdoor space enables a unique university studio-living experience. The hybrid program of the steel tower, located next to The Hague’s Central Station at the intersection of the urban envelope and square, was designed with a sculptural silhouette, which the gleaming glass and aluminum façade reinforce – thus encouraging ‘interiority’.
