The project explores the future of the place of work in the city, dealing with the possibility of reimagining representative and governmental functions through architecture, while improving the experience of office workers with the space. The design assignment deals with the redesign of an existing building in The Hague. The renovated building houses the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the Ministry for Infrastructure, and parts of the Ministry of Immigration. In addition to that, the public notion of the building is expanded by including public functions in the layout of the program for the whole building complex. These are counseling services like legal assistance and business counseling, but also cultural collective spaces, like an auditorium space and a gallery. The project deals with the future work place, the environment and the relation to the city. The combination of the partially governmental and partially public usage of the building, generates friction and shapes the project to deal with an important topical issue, namely the inclusion of the citizens and people of the Hague with their governmental institutions.
