s-Gravenhage, NL
New Dutch Reformed Church in the post-war district of Morgenstond. Hall church, covered by a concrete shell roof, with ancillary rooms and a free-standing, open-worked concrete bell tower at the front. Designed by KL Sijmons Dzn. in a functionalist style, this was, in liturgical terms, a breakthrough in Protestant church construction just after the Second World War. The communion room could be connected to the church hall by means of a sliding wall or not. As such, Sijmons created a design that opened the way to multiple use. Stylistically, the design is somewhat influenced by the work of Le Corbusier due to the sculpturally designed bell tower.
