On a man-made peninsula in the IJ Lake, the new building of the Court of Justice is connected to the building housing the Public Prosecutors Office by a glazed elevated walkway. The new 34,000 m2 complex accommodates about 700 desk spaces, 19 court rooms, several storage rooms for court files and 26 cells to temporarily hold suspects on the day of their appeal. The building stands as a prominent, impressive and individual landmark overlooking the IJ. The façades are made up of horizontal layers of five high-quality materials, each with its own texture but all in a subtle colour palette of whites and pale greys: natural stone, ceramic elements, whitened concrete, glazed brick and powder-coated steel plate. Carefully positioned windows bring natural light into the interior spaces and offer views of the IJ and the city.
