Gate to Den Haag

Since 1995 this office building named "Haagse Poort" what's 'Gate to Den Haag' stands here across the motorway leading into the city; that motorway is down under the crossroads from where I stood. 

Whenever driving that motorway I spot this gate ofcourse, but don't dare to picture it from behind the wheel... but today from another cycling tour I dared what's OK. Turning around to the other side of the crossroad I was on, I saw the motorway; you can see from the extra.

On internet I read that the architect of this gateway, Rob Ligtvoet, has used 6 cm thick glass for the (closed) windows to reduce noises from the motorway and ofcourse a special clean-air airco system to avoid the exhaust gases.

Thank you all lots for your reactions upon my latest entries and yester mural especially!
