Souterrain, The Hague

The fluid, sloping space of the parking lot.

Transparency maintained within the 'building'

The parking becomes a fluid space, making use of the slopes in the rail and exploiting one of the gives, its enormous length, as an unprecedented quality. Where parking and stations meet, partitioning walls have been kept transparent.

The rugged, rock-like concrete walls left bare.

Architectural finishes are almost non-existing due to the surprising beauty of rock-like concrete walls, pored in the irregular coast soil of The Hague. Only light, daylight and electric, gives texture and clear readings of the fluid spaces underground.
