The first time I walked in Burgemeester De Monchyplein in the centre of the city (Archipelbuurt), I felt I was in a very familiar place.....surrounding me, were all buildings from Ricardo Bofill, a catalan architect that developed a similar living complex (Antigone) in Montpellier, a city in the South of France where I grew up! The statues are from Dirk Bus and come from the previous city hall of The Hague that used to stand on this square from 1953 until 1996.

And did you know the old building had a "pater noster" lift one of those endless merry go rounds that functionned as a very dangerous lift?
