Straight up!

            Het Bouwhuis (translated The Building House) is a collective project for a large number of organizations in the building branch and construction industry. The design requirements have been directly translated into the three parts of the building: a parking garage as a plinth, eleven office floors in a T-shaped volume on top and, finally, a large 'roof plate' with collective public and meeting facilities. By locating the representative and collective facilities not on the ground floor but on the top layers, a panoramic view of the city, the motorway and the Groene Hart behind it is possible from these spaces. A robust steel construction provides stability and allows a "column-free" cantilever of the top layers. In the building, much attention has been paid to sustainability, partly due to the double glass skin and heat / cold storage in the soil.

Characteristic for the design is the double skin facade. This resulted in many transparent facades. The double skin principal is realized by applying only hardened glass at a distance of about 1 meter from the thermal facade of the building. This creates an enlarged and isolated cavity. At the second floor, this cavity is opened over the entire length. On the eleventh floor, a gap of 200 mm has been created over the entire length of the facade. Exterior sun protection has been installed in the cavity of the double skin facade.

Technical stuff
This is a daytime long exposure photo taken at 100ISO, f22 (just to prolong the exposure time), 12 secs and with 12.6 mils on the camera. I used a 10 stop ND filter. Due to the bright light I still could go beyond 12 secs. I haven’t found a good quality 16 stop ND filter for 72mm yet. Plus had no stacking compatibility at that time – although I now also have 6 stop 72mm filter.  

Post-production was executed solely with Lightroom CC. I used several (inverted) radial filters, adjustment brushes and graduated filters. The latter addresses primarily the toning of the sky and clouds.  Finally, I added some copyright signs (in PS, as it is still not possible to position a watermark anywhere you want like in PS – by simply adding text). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.
