Does Kollhoff use the same designs everywhere? These towers look almost identical to his Kollhoff Tower at the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin.

And sorry I don't like both his Berlin and the Hague towers. That being said, these towers will add to the density of the skyline and The Hague will indeed have one of the best skylines in Europe in 2010.

Love the Kollhoff towers! Classic buildings. Great project for the Hague. The apartment tower is a bit boring but not bad.

The brick building looks really like Kollhoffs tower in Berlin. But i like them both:

No doubt it will look good. Good is even an understatement, it will be IMPRESSIVE! But you cannot compare a city's 'main cluster' or CBD to the Kop van Zuid. Totally different situations.

Last time I checked Prometheus was a figure in Greek mythology. There's a statue of him at Rockefeller as well. Shouldn't they copy that one too? :bash:

I don't care if they have an Atlas statue or any other statue for that matter. I just think it should be an original statue, not a replica of an already existing one.

By the way, you didn't really understand my comment. I said the whole project seems "American" (which wasn't meant as a bad thing) and I was trying to point out the fact that it has Rockefeller Center as an inspiration (which isn't a bad thing either). The Atlas statue is a symbol of Rockefeller Center.

That said, in another render there's a different statue :lol:

I agree it has some resemblance to the Rockefeller Center, although with some of the buildings being ministeries, you'd never find the sort of 'cozy-ness' that you get with the ice rink and the large christmas tree at the Rockefeller Center (at least, in the winter).

I didn't imply that "American" was a bad thing either, especially when it comes to skyscrapers. As you said, the statue was probably used just to indicate that a statue will appear. I think The Hague is kind of on a NYC spree, they recently copied the Flatiron, literally calling it "Strijkijzer", Dutch for flatiron.

This looks like the first activity to make the area ready to build the 3 towers.

In May will be the official start of the ministries and the residential tower will also start soon. If all goes to plan, thats usually not the case The Hague. But it will be a impressive sight to see the 3 three towers going up together in the next few years.

This week they will start to drill and drive the piles into The Hague's sandy soil. This work will already stop after about a week. After this planned break they will continue the work then after the 15th of august. The piles will be driven in all autumn long.

There has also been a modification in the design of the towers' tops, from that there are no new pictures, so this is the last state of affairs:

It should be mentioned that the work on the Ministries like Rietveld already mentioned is only for 1 week. They are testing several ways to get the piles into the ground to find out how they can do it without generating to much noise and vibrations when they will start the real work in August.

On de Kroon location the piledrivers will go on until August/September, not much visible change there since the last update.

But they made a nice billboard for the tower.

The piles are almost finished, only one piledriver is left on the site

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/momo1435/DH/IMG_9494.jpg

the last ones are a bit different, these are trekpalen, (pull piles) that literally pull the building into the ground.

detail of the pile driver

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/momo1435/DH/IMG_9498.jpg

Hopefully this means that they will be going up soon.


And now they're almost finished with the piles for de Kroon they start the work on the 2 ministries now the summer holiday is over.

1 piledriver is already active, the 2nd just came to the site and must be build up before it can do it's job

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/momo1435/DH/IMG_9489.jpg

the 1st has already been busy

the site

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/momo1435/DH/IMG_9490.jpg

As you could notice on the pictures, they build a wall out of containers to reduce the noise for the people that are living in the apartments behind it. It's a nice gesture, but it doesn't really work. And it could become scary with the autumn storms that will be coming soon.

I don't like the design of these towers, they look like towers from the 40's or something... :P

I think they look more like towers built in the 20's, and this is why I LOVE them! :cheers:

the construction for the crane

The 2 Ministries

I count the foundations for 4 tower cranes, it will become quite a spectacle.

Today just a De Kroon update, on the 2 towers ministries there's not much to see then just a more piles into the ground.

The contours of the tower have become visible, around the tower there will be lowrise.

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii301/momo1435-2/IMG_2575.jpg

These concrete segments are probably the borders of the concrete floor

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii301/momo1435-2/IMG_2580.jpg

The walls around the core have been cut down

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii301/momo1435-2/IMG_2583.jpg

In the core different piles have been used.

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii301/momo1435-2/IMG_2584.jpg

The structure in the corner of the site, presumably a base for a crane(?)

It's clearly visible that the actual tower will get a thicker floor then the lower parts.

Very beautiful. Much better than the modernist residential highrises you find in Rotterdam.

Thats your opinion.

Its interesting to see Kollhoff-projects being flushed to the toilet in Rotterdam, but praised in The Hague.

But I like the The Hague and its projects and the fact that both cities more or less have their own style and qualities.

Thanks for the beautiful updates.

Well, it has to be said that this tower is of much better quality than any of his Rotterdam projects.
Plus his retro style fits better in the Hague, which has more older buildings in the city centre than Rotterdam. :)

@Erbse: The neighborhood in the front is finished for about a year and is called "the Rivierenbuurt". The architect is Rob Krier. The second part of the project, what they are finishing now is less beautiful I think. More info here (in Dutch) http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=74404

The Tower on the left is part of a big project finished a few years ago and is called "The Resident". More info here (also in English): http://denhaagnieuwcentrum.nl/projecten/binnenstad-6/de-resident-33

On th right side of the cluster you will soon see Tower 1 (141,8m) of the Babylon complex. Tower 2 is already visible on the right with blue and white. When al this is finnished The Hague will have a nice kkyline for a city with around 500.000 inhabitants!!!

I really love how this skyline will look, One of the nicest looking skylines in Europe. These kind of buildings looks exactly like my taste of buildings, very New yorkish combined with dutch arhitecture! Hope they continue in that way and make this city a very baeutiful City! :cheers:

Check pictures posted by Jeromeo and you will see the The Hague skyline with in the back the Rotterdam skyline. I think they are taken from the building you are talking about ;)

Retro shapes and materials ( like bricks ) work well on these towers and they blend well with the skyline - one that proves a medium-sized city whith nothing like a supertall can have an impressive and original skyline - so there's nothing wrong whith what you see loking up from street level; the problem is what you see AT streetlevel, looking right in front of you... bland facades whith repetitive patterns and, yes, bricks everywhere...
the "so seeerious" a few posts back realy said the least about it...

Construction of these towers started before the crisis. If the government had to decide today to start the construction, it would probably not have happened.

erbse
July 27th, 2011, 08:39 PM
What a surprise, having Kollhoff as the architect here as well. :|

I really like this project, but I don't think it's the better Potsdamer Platz. The latter offers far more diversity, urbanity and space for live/liness. Kollhoff should develop this style further, build more such buildings all across the globe. I'd love to see the revival of postmodernism in this very decent and qualitative way that resembles Art Déco. Gorgeous.

seb.nl
July 27th, 2011, 09:06 PM
Yup it has Kollhoff written all over it :) Not a bad thing since it seems to fit the
surrounding buildings quite well. The Potsdamer tower looks good to, seen it in person
once, nice area there...

impresive skyline. with these towers and the new babylon complex this wil be the best skyline in netherlands. these developments should be a example for other dutch cities. i hope there will be more towers developed in the next years, especialy steel and glass towers like new babylon. everyone loves this international architecture

The Hague has a very nice cluster nowadays, the new towers are looking quite good honestly.

There is one question I have left, is the statue as in the picture in the start-post already placed in front of the towers??

It would have been nice to save the Zwarte Madonna, a fine example of it's age.
But it started to fit it's environment less and less... Anyway, i find the new situation
to be a improvement too :)
