Reflections tells the story of the renovation of the largest seventeenth-century palace of the House of Orange and the new underground extension. Spectacular photography and captivating texts showcase KAAN Architecten' ingenious design for the project, the history of the palace, the convergence of old and new and the palace's current role as an museum.

The underground extension is inextricably linked to the historical building even while leaving the facade and the interior of the palace untouched, literally and metaphorically elevating Paleis Het Loo. The roof of the new building doubles as a glass pond, allowing daylight to enter the new Grand Foyer below. This allows visitors to view the palace from below as well as catch a glimpse of the new underground museum from above. Symmetry and reflections are the connecting principle. Reflections is the fascinating account of a successful transformation in which past, present and future reinforce each other.
