Courthouse Amsterdam
General
A new building is being built for the Court of Amsterdam – the largest court in the Netherlands – on its current site in the Zuidas district of Amsterdam. The new court will have a vast area of rooms and office space that has been specially designed to cater for the building’s use. The building will open its doors in mid-2020.
Choice of NACH consortium
In April 2016, the Central Government Real Estate Agency selected the New Amsterdam Court House (NACH) consortium to design, finance, build, maintain and operate the new Amsterdam Court House building. ABT – together with Macquarie Capital, DVP, KAAN Architecten, Heijmans and Facilicom – is part of NACH.
Prominent open building
A preliminary design showed a prominent open building that gives employees and visitors a view of the city and allows passers-by a glimpse into the building. It is of central importance to NACH that the administration of justice is a public matter of the highest importance. This starting point gives shape to the building, which could also be described as prominent and accessible. The forecourt, the central hall in the building and the foyers, the waiting areas for visitors, are a continuation of the city. Visitors are able to visit secure areas, whilst judges, registrars and representatives of the Public Prosecution Service have their own secure routes.

Op de huidige locatie aan de Amsterdamse Zuidas krijgt de Amsterdamse Rechtbank – de grootste rechtbank van Nederland – een nieuw pand. De nieuwe rechtbank krijgt onder meer een uitgebreid zalengebied en een kantoorwerkgebied dat helemaal afgestemd is op het gebruik. Het gebouw zal medio 2020 haar deuren openen.
Statig open gebouw
Een voorlopig ontwerp laat een statig open gebouw zien dat medewerkers en bezoekers uitzicht biedt op de stad en dat voorbijgangers een blik in het gebouw gunt. Voor het projectteam staat centraal dat de rechtspraak een publieke zaak is van het hoogste belang. Dit uitgangspunt geeft vorm aan het gebouw, dat dan ook voornaam en toegankelijk genoemd mag worden. Het voorplein, de centrale hal in het gebouw en de foyers, de wachtgebieden voor bezoekers, zijn een voortzetting van de stad. Bezoekers kunnen beschutte plekken opzoeken, rechters, griffiers en de vertegenwoordigers van het Openbaar Ministerie hebben afgeschermde eigen wegen.
