De Zwarte Madonna, Modernist residential structure in The Hague, Netherlands

The building featured a dark facade covered with black tiles, consisting of 336 apartments spread across multiple floors with commercial spaces on the ground level.

Architect Carel Weeber designed this residential complex in 1985 as part of the urban development plan for the Spuikwartier district of The Hague.

The building represented the Dutch neo-rationalist architectural movement of the 1980s, incorporating functional design elements with geometric patterns and industrial materials.

The complex contained two, three, and four-room apartments accessed through galleries and three staircases, along with an integrated parking garage and retail spaces.

The structure's rounded southern corner, designed to accommodate a nearby tram line, created a distinctive architectural element in the urban landscape.
