The Castalia, built in 1998, was the city's first building taller than 100 meters at 20 storeys and 104 meters (341 ft). Graves actually used the core of an older building--the Transitorium, built in 1967. This building, designed by Lucas & Niemeijer, was 73 meters tall. Graves' renovation and new two-tower design recalls the steeply pitched roofs of the traditional Dutch house. The red brick and domestic paned windows are part of the post-modern allusion.
