The Hague Geothermal Station, The Hague, Netherlands. Architect: Jan Splinter, 2012. Side elevation of facade.

---

The largest geothermal project in the Netherlands. By 2017, more than 4,000 homes are connected. Building such a large building with a strong industrial character in the middle of a residential area makes demands on building is entirely covered with a semitransparent skin of metal. Only the basic head shape of the building is reflected. The unique function and central position in the district get a comprehensible meaning.
