Glass Curtain Wall and Mullion Grid, The Hague

1 May 2025 · The Hague

Shot from street level looking up, the curtain wall fills the frame and flattens into pure geometry — the mullion grid locks the composition into a tight orthogonal pattern while the structural steel ribs visible through the upper glazing layer a second grid behind the first. In monochrome, the tonal contrast between the reflective glass panels and the pale cladding does what colour would have obscured: it turns a building facade into a study in line and interval. The Hague's commercial district offers exactly this kind of graphic architecture, and low-angle shooting is the only approach that makes the scale legible without losing the detail.
