Hoftoren, Modern skyscraper in The Hague, Netherlands.

The Hoftoren reaches 142 meters into the sky with 30 floors, featuring vertical slabs of light sand-colored stone and clear glass panels throughout its structure.

Kohn Pedersen Fox architectural firm completed this contemporary addition to The Hague's skyline in 2003, following their selection through an international design competition.

Local residents refer to the building as 'the fountain pen' due to its distinctive silhouette that marks the transformation of The Hague's traditional architectural landscape.

The building contains 14 elevators and provides office spaces, a conference center, and a restaurant, with a ground floor arcade overlooking a central courtyard garden.

The tower's orientation offers views toward the Malieveld green space and North Sea, while its materials reflect natural elements like water, clouds, and dunes.
