At the request of his childhood friend Albert Plesman , he designed the KLM headquarters in The Hague. The first wing was completed in 1940, and construction work resumed in 1946 after the war had been interrupted. In 1969 the building was taken over by the Dutch Ministry of Transport and Water Management.
