Nice photos. =) |
The colors are very intriguing, and the renderings seem to give the buildings a decade old feel to them. Do you know if the cladding material is some sort of stone/concrete? The red and white buildings remind me of pre-World War II skyscrapers while the greenish one has a similar shape to the 60s blocks in New York.
(The numbers: To avoid the jokes, put a space after each comma. At least to this American, 146,146,132 = one huge number. 146, 146, 132 = three different numbers.) |
Nice to see I wasn't the only forumite confused by the height figures.
Nice massing. |
Cool development. I like the look of the towers, especially the red one and the one in the middle. Nice textures on the facades and setbacks. Modern architecture has gotten a bit too boxy for my taste, so it's good to see some new buildings that actually have shape to them with setbacks.
|
Look really nice. Wish the one in the middle, would have been 10 floors taller. It would have truly made an even more impressive impact on the Hague's skyline.

explains why old new york was once new amsterdam. Den Haag!

^ I like the white and red buildings a lot. They look kinda prewar American nicely changing from the usual all-glass stuff. Good density, too. That little cluster is gonna be something nice.
|
I agree. I love the pre-war quality to them and the contrast between the red and white towers. I'd love to see something like this built in LA. What material is being used on the facade? Is it stone or concrete?

There's got to be an answer to these:

These are some of the finest skyscrapers in Europe, maybe even the world. They look simply amazing, well done.
|
These things seemed to have almost doubled the size of the skyline. Fairly interesting, though, I'd have changed up the three tower tops.
