Working with Rijksvastgoedbedrijf to create a modern home for the Netherlands' highest court
The Dutch Supreme Court required a modern, purpose-built building that could reflect the openness and accountability of the judicial system while meeting the operational needs of the country's highest court. In 2013, Rijksvastgoedbedrijf selected Invesis as sole investor under a 30-year DBFM contract, with BAM Utiliteitsbouw delivering construction and ISS providing FM services.
The new building was designed by KAAN Architecten and is situated in The Hague city centre, adjacent to the historic Supreme Court building. Across 18,000m2 and six levels, it houses a large courtroom for 400 people, a smaller courtroom for 80, a public reception area, restaurant, library and archive - as well as public galleries where visitors can observe court proceedings. The design emphasises transparency and accessibility, symbolising the openness of the Dutch judicial system. Handback is due in November 2045.
