Client: Bouwinvest Dutch Institutional Office Fund

Client: Heembouw Kantoren

Architect: KOW Architecten

Main structural engineer: Royal Haskoning DHV

Work Dijkstaal: Supply and installation of approximately 200 tons of steel, supplemented with:
- Steel plate concrete floors; approximately 920m² steel plate concrete floor Comflor 95.
- Steel roof panels; approximately 805m² steel roof panel type 106R/750.

Centre Court is a characteristic residential and commercial building in The Hague.

The raised building sections originally had five office floors. In these building sections, spanned channel plate floors on load-bearing prefabricated concrete facade elements. This created a column-free space for the office floors with a net length of 14.4 metres.

The ground floor and the parking floor consist of wide-slab floors on beam strips. The building grid of 3.6x14.4 m changes here to a column grid of 7.2x7.2 m. The facades of the office floors that are not on the basement walls therefore also span 7.2 m.
