Living Wall Improves 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 Architecten 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 m² 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 life span

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

Living walls as an acoustic solution

The main reason for applying the SemperGreenwall in this area were the acoustics. The SemperGreenwall decreases 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.
