SCHEVENINGEN BOULEVARD - Design for the seashore of The Hague

Scheveningen, originally an old fishermen village aside from The Hague, is the most important beach resort of The Netherlands. Today, the seafront is fully integrated into The Hague, the dutch governmental capital. The Masterplan is designed by Manuel de Sola-Morales. Age Fluitman worked as project leader at the Barcelona office of Manuel de Sola and now oversees the project's implementation in The Netherlands in colaboration with the municipality. The project comprises the rehabilitation of 1,7 km of the seafront. It creates a new major boulevard and pedestrian zone, while at the same time strengthening the coastline defence for The Hague. The curved form, splitted in different levels, makes the walk a more dynamic and interesting experience. The seafront is given back to pedestrians and bicycles, meanwhile cardrivers still enjoy a scenic drive.
