Monchyplein
The Hague, The Netherlands
The district of Monchyplein lies within the boundaries of The Hague, but
is completely isolated from the rest of the city. The first and most
obvious solution to Monchyplein’s urban problems is to connect it with
the main axis of the city, as H.P. Berlage proposed in 1908. For the
remodeling of the physical space of Monchyplein, a programme of uses and
volumes was worded out, rejecting any kind of utopianism, which
involved the construction of 800 dwellings. The quality of some of the
existing buildings suggested their conservation for new uses in keeping
with the urban situation. The project was divides into three parts, in
accordance with the three phases of construction envisaged.
The first, in the form of a semicircle, defines a potent interior
space whose spectacular quality increases with the addition of the
subsequent phases. A campanile crowns and gives stability to the
composition. This interior space, connected with the city by way of
Nassauplein, is made the centre of the new district and its principle
landscaped area.
Program: urban renovation project around a park, with 500 dwellings, and 12,150 m2 of offices and parking space.
