History The complex was named after the Dutch lawyer Hugo Grotius and was designed by the MVRDV Studio, who inspired its appearance by voxels, so-called 3D pixels. These pixels form roof terraces for the apartments on the top floors.Start bouw van de Grotiustorens in centrum Den Haag, Archidat, 23 mei 2021. Gearchiveerd op 1 juli 2022.
