Dr. Anton Philipszaal, Concert hall on Spuiplein, The Hague, Netherlands
The building featured a central pink box design surrounded by a dark glass shell, accommodating 1800 seats across the main floor and balcony levels.
The Residentie Orchestra funded the construction partially through public campaigns and record sales after losing their previous venue to a fire in 1964.
From its opening in 1987, the hall served as the primary performance space for the Residentie Orchestra and featured ceramic wall panels by artist Marte Röling.
The concert hall operated until 2015 when demolition began to create space for Amare, a new cultural center completed in 2021.
The structure's main concert hall was deliberately designed as a recognizable pink box, later changed to bright red when the original plasterwork deteriorated.
