Transformation of Rijkskantoor B73 in The Hague, home to three ministries: the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security, and Nature, the Ministry of Climate and Green Growth, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The project aimed to modernize and renovate key areas within the complex, creating a flexible, sustainable, and future-proof government workspace.
The challenge was to optimize these spaces for multifunctional use, with a strong focus on fostering interaction, collaboration, and connection. At the heart of the transformation lies the striking Orangerie – a lush, green space where two existing pavilions and their surroundings have been reimagined as vibrant meeting hubs set within nature. Sustainability and well-being are central to the design, which integrates biophilic principles and aligns with the WELL Building Standard.
