Transformation of the RTL news studio: Sustainable Mass Timber Frame Construction at Plein 17 in The Hague (NL)

Transformation of RTL news studio into sustainable timber frame construction in The Hague

From studio to future-proof building

At Plein 17 in The Hague, the former RTL news studio gets a new life. This project shows how transformation of an existing building and sustainable construction coming together in an innovative development.

By using existing structures and cleverly combining them with biobased construction, a building is created that is ready for the future. If building transformation architect we design from what is already there, with an eye for quality and impact.

Timber frame construction as a light and sustainable solution

This project plays a role timber frame construction an important role. This construction method makes it possible to build light, efficiently and flexibly within an existing structure.

In combination with principles of CLT construction Netherlands and building solid wood a biobased approach is created that:

• makes rapid realization possible
• Reduces CO2 emissions
• creates a healthy living environment

Circular construction and reuse

With circular construction in the Netherlands the existing building will be used optimally. The reuse of structures and materials creates an efficient and forward-looking solution.

If renovation architect Netherlands we work from minimal impact and maximum value.

Sustainable transformation with timber frame construction in the heart of The Hague

The power of repurposing

In the center of The Hague, this project shows how an existing news studio is transforming into a future-proof building. With transformation of an existing building a new function is created without demolition or expansion.

This is sustainable construction by making smart use of what is already there.

Biobased construction with timber frame construction

By applying timber frame construction creates a light and flexible construction. This form of biobased construction makes it possible to transform quickly and efficiently.

If timber construction architect we combine technical innovation with spatial quality.

Circular renovation as a basis

With circular renovation and reuse of building materials the building gets a second life. This makes the project a strong example of circular construction in the Netherlands.

Climate-adaptive and nature-inclusive

With climate-adaptive design and nature-inclusive construction the building is being prepared for the future. In an urban context, too, there is room for greening and improving the quality of life.
