Huis van de Stad, Municipal building in Gouda, Netherlands
The Huis van de Stad features diagonal brown brick bands across its facade, creating a pattern that reflects the local stroopwafel pastry design.
Completed in 2012, the Huis van de Stad consolidated municipal services that were previously distributed among five separate facilities throughout Gouda.
The building's council chamber incorporates an amphitheater-style gallery and displays a wall pattern of stylized G letters representing the city's identity.
Located near Gouda's train station, the ten-floor structure houses government offices, public meeting spaces, and administrative service centers for residents.
Eight days after its inauguration, the building hosted a world record event where dam master Erno Prosman performed simultaneous blind chess games.
