Transformation of the District Court in Delft (NL)

Transformation of the District Court in Delft into a modern place to live

The transformation of the former District Court at Korte Geer 11A in Delft is a special project by UC Architects. The monumental building has been given a new life as a modern residential location, with respect for the rich history and unique character of the building.

Preserving historical heritage

At the start of transformation UC Architects examined the building thoroughly. The building has a lot of historical value that had to be preserved. Important elements such as the original façade and characteristic interior details have been carefully restored. This way, the historic appearance of the old court remains visible, even in its new function as a residential building.

Comfortable and light living

An important goal of the transformation was creating nice, functional living spaces. The layout of the building has been adjusted so that several homes have been created, suitable for different residents. Open floor plans, lots of daylight and good ventilation ensure a pleasant living environment. Each home has been designed with attention to comfort and ease of use.

Sustainable living in a historic building

Sustainability was at the heart of this project. During the transformation energy-efficient installations, such as a renewed heating system and additional insulation, have been installed. Environmentally friendly materials have also been used. Thanks to these interventions, the building is now ready for the future, with a smaller ecological footprint and a healthy living environment for residents.

The transformation van het Kantongerecht is a good example of how history, architecture and forward-looking living can go hand in hand.
