Design Like De Dutch - Netherlands Central Tax Office (GALLERY)
[Edit]
[Edit]
No one does design like the Dutch, and nothing can spoil their fun—not even paying taxes! The creative geniuses behind the Netherlands Central Tax Office constructed a very unique, highly modern, steel-meets-nature piece of architecture. The building also happens to be one of the most expensive structures in the country.
Going here to file taxes could almost make crunching numbers fun! Now if they were really thinking about enticing people, they’d offer a toke of a little something to calm tax payers’ nerves.
The Walter Bos complex was originally built in the 1960s and consisted of four drab offices surrounded by even drearier parking bays. As part of the renovation they decided to connect the four blocks with an adjoining one. But instead of lumping a load of concrete onto each side to stitch the towers together, they sunk it deep underground. The result is a huge sunken structure covered by an expanse of water with individual cones breaking the surface.
