The Court of Audit has been housed at Lange Voorhout 8 in The Hague since 1868. The building itself dates from 1394. A new office block designed by architect Aldo van Eyck was added at the rear in 1997. The modern building had to match the old one as closely as possible. Van Eyck was inspired by rainbows and his preferred shape was the curve. The result was a building in which every office room is different. The canteen was inspired by the shape of an Arab tent. 275 people work at the Court of Audit.
