A stunner. I also see some funky buildings near it.
This building is different without being tacky.

A 8.0/10 mostly because the top looks good,BUT in some views the tower looks very wide.

Beautiful building, only too bad about the height. This building fits perfectly in the experimental and original skyline of Den Haag.

Beautifull building, coming from Rotterdam I really envy this building, My city only builds ugly blocky buildings.

^ Thanks.

Well that's a nice, slim, sharp design with some nice angular shapes that fit together well. It's tall enough to 'soar', and it's set in a nice location by the water and the greenery. My only complaint is that the colour and facade is a touch drab, but that's only when viewed up close.

Overall, an impressive landmark.

8.5

Yeah, the colour is kind of dull, but that fits the Ministry of Education I guess :D. The only real complaint I have is that they don't illuminate it at all at night. It would make it look so much better at night and allow for some amazing nightshots to be taken as well ;)

If it had been 50 meters taller, it would have been a 10. Now it looks somewhat stubby.
