Living Wall Enhances Acoustics in Rotterdam Courthouse

The Rotterdam Courthouse has been renovated on a grand scale, commissioned by the Central Government Real Estate Agency. The new design, made by Fokkema & Partners Architects in collaboration with Dura Vermeer, contains sustainable features including a SemperGreenwall Indoor. The green wall is part of the renewed reception area. In January 2020, the Mayor of Rotterdam Ahmed Aboutaleb officially opened the new courthouse.

Cleaner Air

1 sq ft of living wall filters fine dust, absorbs 2.3 kg CO₂, and produces 1.7 kg oxygen per year.

Cradle to Cradle Certified

SemperGreenwall systems meet the highest standards for quality and sustainability, holding a Bronze-level Cradle to Cradle certification.

Extends facade lifespan

A living wall shields your facade from the sun, rain, wind, and temperature changes, extending its lifespan.

The Rotterdam Courthouse has undergone extensive renovations, commissioned by the Central Government Real Estate Agency. The new design, created by Fokkema & Partners Architects in collaboration with Dura Vermeer, features sustainable elements including a SemperGreenwall Indoor. The green wall is a highlight of the revamped reception area.

Living walls as an acoustic solution

The main reason for applying the SemperGreenwall in this area was the acoustics. The SemperGreenwall reduces noise pollution in crowded spaces. The green wall absorbs 41% more sound than a traditional wall, which creates a calmer atmosphere in this busy entrance.
