Het Gelders Huis, Arnhem
Winner Best Building of the year 2018
The Gelders House is the new name for the renovated House of the Province, a Gesamtkunstwerk from the reconstruction period and a national monument, which is extended with a modern office wing. The provincial government resides in the – partly public – complex where also 1200 provincial officials work.

The jury, chaired by Louise Vet (director of the Netherlands Institute of Ecology of the Royal Academy of Sciences, NIOO-KNAW), calls Het Gelders Huis ‘not only a stimulating environment, but also an iconic building that contributes to the quality of life in the city ​​and – as the name already indicates – offers a home base and a meeting place for the population.’
