架构师提供的文本描述。根据西八的总体规划，原火车站将进行改造，包括公园、公共建筑、办公室和酒店以及城市住宅区。J.梅耶尔H.建筑师与透镜角和A20-建筑一起意识到了两座高层建筑中的一座，即“新哈塞尔特法院”，这座建筑是新区的一个明显的城市象征。参考在设计过程中，指的是“树”的形象，哈塞尔特市里的榛子树，以及曾经受工业和新艺术影响地区的钢结构。这种类似树的结构也是指大而古老的树下的法院，这是中世纪的一个共同传统。

Text description provided by the architects. Based on a master plan by West 8, the former railway station site will be restructured with a park, public buildings, offices and hotels, as well as urban residential blocks. J. MAYER H. Architects, along with Lens °Ass and a20-architecten have realized one of the two high-rise buildings, "the new Hasselt courthouse", a structure that stands as a clear urban symbol of the new district. References in the design process to refer both to the image of the "tree", the hazelnut trees in the City of Hasselt’s coat of arms, and steel structures in the once industrial- and Art Nouveau-influenced area. The tree-like structure also refers to courts held under large, old trees, a common tradition in the Middle Ages.

新的法院大楼是一座开放、透明的建筑，可直接进入公众。根据建筑物的后勤要求和安全规定，该建筑分为三个独立的单元：审判室、大学图书馆和办公大楼，其中有一座64米高的全景餐厅，窗户可以俯瞰哈塞尔特市及其周围环境。

The new courthouse is an open, transparent building with direct public access. In keeping with the building’s logistical requirements and safety provisions, the structure is divided into three separate units: courtrooms, a university library and office tower with a 64-meters-high panorama restaurant, where windows afford a view over the city of Hasselt and its surroundings.
