由MVRDV为开发商Provast设计的两座住宅楼已在海牙完工。高达120米和100米的Grotius Towers位于Grotiusplaats，离城市的中央车站仅一箭之遥，并与荷兰皇家图书馆毗邻。这两座塔楼拥有引人注目的堆叠式公寓，在城市中心增加了可负担得起的租赁住房，门前就是公共交通枢纽。在该建筑群的655套公寓中，有114套用于社会租赁，另有295套针对中端市场的租赁部门。

Two residential towers designed by MVRDV for developer Provast have been completed in The Hague. The Grotius Towers, which are 120 and 100 metres tall, are located on Grotiusplaats, a stone’s throw from the city’s Central Station and alongside the Royal Library of the Netherlands. With their striking crowns of stacked apartments, the towers add affordable rental housing at the very centre of the city, with a public transport hub on the doorstep. Of the 655 apartments in the complex, 114 are intended for social rent, with a further 295 targeted at the mid-market rental sector.

在其顶部，格劳秀斯塔楼向上延伸到一个由后退和梯田组成的景观。从远处看，这些冠层是可见的，成为海牙天际线上的一个醒目的新亮点。在这个每平方米都必须被巧妙利用的地区，MVRDV设计了两座总建筑面积为61,800平方米的公寓楼。通过巧妙地塑造塔楼的脚印，设计团队能够保留通街，创造新的广场，并开发出两座建筑，当从新的角度看时，似乎巧妙地改变了形状。

At their tops, the Grotius Towers extend upwards into a landscape of setbacks and terraces. These crowns are visible from afar, making an eye-catching new addition to the skyline of The Hague. In an area where every square metre has to be used intelligently, MVRDV designed two apartment buildings with a total floor area of 61,800 square metres. By cleverly shaping the footprints of the towers, the design team was able to preserve through-streets, create new squares, and develop a duo of buildings that appear to subtly change shape when viewed from new perspectives.

设计对塔楼的顶部给予了特别关注：通过让它们在最上层不对称地 “崩塌”，创造了特有的叠层梯田景观，南侧的梯田比北侧的多。颜色和材料的变化给塔冠带来了额外的亮点，梯田和外墙采用了可持续的竹子复合材料。在塔楼的底部，颜色的梯度–从上面的米色到底层的烟灰色–也确保了在地面上的软着陆。

The design gives particular attention to the top of the towers: by allowing them to ‘crumble’ asymmetrically at the uppermost levels, the characteristic landscape of stacked terraces is created, with more terraces on the south side than on the north side. A change in colour and material gives the crowns an extra accent, with a sustainable bamboo composite on the terraces and the façades. At the base of the towers, a colour gradient – from beige above to anthracite grey on the bottom floors – also ensures a soft landing on the ground level.

虽然格劳秀斯大厦的公寓在租金和面积上各不相同，但即使是最小的转角公寓也能提供美丽的景色，每个公寓都实现了大窗户。每位住户都有一个户外空间；在高层，住户可以走到皇冠的露台上，而在塔的其他部分则是部分突出的阳台，部分设置在公寓内作为一个木屋。

While the apartments in the Grotius Towers vary in rent and size, even the smallest corner apartment offers beautiful views, with large windows realised in each apartment. Each resident is given an outdoor space; at the upper levels, residents can step out onto the terraces of the crown, while on the rest of the tower are balconies that partly protrude, and partly set back into the apartment as a loggia.

“MVRDV的创始合伙人Winy Maas说：”通过这个设计，我们在这个已经很繁忙的地区创造了一个新的空间。”虽然这些塔楼看起来很窄，但它们包含了很大的建筑面积和混合的住宅。顶端的’村庄’简直就是设计的顶点。除了风景，这堆梯田也让居民之间容易相遇。这种设计使你的邻居更加平易近人；住户们很快就会觉得他们就像住在一楼一样，随意地邀请对方喝杯酒或吃个饭”。

“With this design, we have created a new space within this already busy area,” says MVRDV founding partner Winy Maas. “Although the towers appear narrow, they contain a large floor area and a mix of homes. The ‘village’ at the top literally crowns the design. In addition to the view, this stack of terraces also allows easy encounters between residents. The design makes your neighbours more approachable; tenants will soon feel as if they live on the ground floor, casually inviting each other for a glass of wine or dinner.”

天然石材和可持续复合竹子的外墙，无燃气住宅，以及大约1500个自行车停车位（除244个汽车停车位外），格劳秀斯塔楼也是可持续的。在设计中，我们注意了良好的绝缘和热回收系统的能源效率。这些塔楼也是多功能的：除了租赁住房外，底层还有各种设施，从餐馆、咖啡馆到服务。我们特别为居民开发了一个应用程序，他们可以通过这个程序相互联系，进行体育或餐饮预约，这将促进社会凝聚力。

With façades of natural stone and sustainable composite bamboo, gas-free homes, and approximately 1,500 bicycle parking spaces (in addition to 244 for cars), the Grotius Towers are also sustainable. In the design, attention was paid to energy efficiency in the form of good insulation and heat recovery systems. The towers are also multifunctional: as well as rental housing, there are a variety of facilities on the ground floor, from restaurants and cafes to services. An app has been developed especially for residents with which they can get in touch with each other for sports or dining appointments, which will promote social cohesion.

这两座塔并不是这个社区故事的结束：它们构成了海牙中央车站以东地区改造的起点。这将涉及部分覆盖

Utrechtsebaan高速公路，并将步行路线延伸到Bezuidenhout社区的方向。格劳秀斯大厦给这里的公共空间带来了新的维度，成为海牙这一地区进一步密集化和绿化的开始。

Grotius Towers，正式名称为The Roofs，由MVRDV设计，Provast开发，是房地产投资管理公司a.s.r.房地产和CBRE投资管理公司的投资项目。

The two towers are not the end of the story for this neighbourhood: they form the starting point for the makeover of the area east of The Hague’s Central Station. This will involve partially covering the

Utrechtsebaan highway and extending the pedestrian route in the direction of the Bezuidenhout neighbourhood. The Grotius Towers give the public space here a new dimension, serving as the start of further densification and greening in this part of The Hague.

The Grotius Towers, officially known as The Roofs, were designed by MVRDV and developed by Provast and are an investment by real estate investment management firms a.s.r. real estate and CBRE Investment Management.
