Rijnstraat 8, Government office building near Central Station, The Hague, Netherlands
The VROM building features four large atriums with indoor gardens, allowing natural light to flow through its sixteen floors and 99,000 square meters of space.
Architect Jan Hoogstad designed this structure in 1992 as the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and Environment, marking a shift in Dutch governmental architecture.
The building represents Dutch administrative efficiency through its structured layout, where restaurants maintain lower ceiling heights to minimize extended lunch breaks.
Since 2017, the building houses multiple government departments including Foreign Affairs, Immigration Services, and the Central Agency for Asylum Seekers Reception.
The rooftop contains tropical trees and plants under an adjustable cover system that responds to weather conditions, creating an elevated garden environment.
