The building that houses this apartment was originally constructed in 1958 as a PTT building and underwent a comprehensive transformation in 1997 to become the stylish apartment complex it is today. This conversion successfully integrated the vibrancy of the city center with elements of peace, space, and comfort that residents can enjoy.

Public transportation is well-served by tram and bus lines in the direct vicinity, offering quick connections throughout The Hague. By bicycle, the beach at Scheveningen and the city's green parks can be reached within minutes.
The entrance to the apartment complex is located on the corner of Torenstraat and Kleine Nobelstraat.
