Roofline within skyline
Startig at equal height to its surroundings at the Northwestern corner the new Dance and Music Centre gradually rises towards the Southeast culminating in a dramatic peak at the most Eastern tip. This gracious curving roofline neatly nestles itself along the rising city skyline that runs from the lower buildings around the Nieuwe Kerk to the taller volumes of the Vtfjnhavenkwartier The new Dance and Music Centre thereby forms a graceful, iconic landmark for the city of The Hague.
