Residential Towers, The Hague — Upward Perspective

1 May 2025 · The Hague

Two towers, one rectilinear and glazed with balconies stepping up its edge, one curved and held in shadow — the gap between them becomes the composition. Shot from ground level in The Hague, the upward angle compresses the curtain wall into a strict vertical corridor, each floor a repeat of the one below until the roofline cuts against clear sky. A contrail crosses the open left half of the frame, the only diagonal in an otherwise orthogonal scene. The curved facade on the right is what holds the image together: soft against hard, shadow against light.
