About the project
The 50 metre high building is open and welcoming, but it is the spaciously designed foyers around the courtrooms that provide the “wow” factor. With 1200 employees and 800-1000 visitors per day, the building is the largest courthouse in the Netherlands. In close collaboration with architectural firm KAAN Architecten Rotterdam and the installer Verwol Projectafbouw, all requirements of the consortium NACH – responsible for the design, construction, financing and maintenance of the new building – were met.
Large windows in the lower half of the building allow views from the street into the interior, and the walls and floors are made from natural stone. Whilst the design is a sea of space and light, these materials are hard surfaces which can contribute to an unpleasant reverberation and echo.
