Nirwanaflat, Modernist residential tower in The Hague, Netherlands.
The Nirwanaflat features continuous rows of windows across its facades and stands 29.5 meters tall with a concrete skeleton structure at Benoordenhoutseweg 227.
Completed in 1929 by architect Jan Duiker and engineer Jan Gerko Wiebenga, this building remained the tallest residential tower in the Netherlands for three years.
The building marked a transition in Dutch architecture from traditional brick construction to modern materials like concrete and glass in residential developments.
Each of the six floors contains four apartments equipped with modern facilities including an elevator, central heating, and complete water systems.
The original plans called for five interconnected residential towers with courtyards, but only one structure was constructed due to project limitations.
