Huis der Provincie Arnhem

The Huis der Provincie Arnhem features a transparent roof with air cushions, connecting footbridges with mirrored surfaces, and multiple administrative offices across its complex.

Constructed in 1950 by architects Jo Vegter and Henk Brouwer, the building represents the post-war reconstruction period and incorporates elements of the Delftse School architectural style.

Six prominent Dutch artists, including Hildo Krop and Wessel Couzijn, contributed their creative works throughout the building, making it an intersection of governance and artistry.

The provincial headquarters contains modern office spaces, public meeting rooms, and governmental facilities, all accessed through a naturally illuminated entrance hall.

Four mirrored footbridges span between the old and new sections of the building, while recurring hourglass motifs appear throughout the architectural details.
