The Beehive
The modern city hall of Hardenberg is a compact circular yellowish building located between the center and the Vechtpark. Ever since 2012, the year of its inception it has caused controversy. In 2015 it got a prize for being the "Ugliest Building in the Netherlands" (sample of 5000 votes from among people working in the construction sector). For me the structure does not look out of place and the form (different surfaces in circular composition) is refreshing after having seen so many boring square office buildings in other Dutch cities. Moreover, architects Branimir Medić en Pero Puljiz paid attention to energy efficiency. This is not the reason why locals often call it "de bijenkorf" (the beehive).
