'The dentures' is the nickname that residents of Amsterdam came up with for the Stopera, the city hall of the city that also serves as an opera house.
The city hall of Amsterdam is also known as 'De Stopera'. It is not only used as a town hall, but also as an opera house. Because of its appearance, residents of the city also refer to the building as 'the dentures'. Four architects were involved in the construction of the town hall: Wilhelm Holzbauer, Bernard Bijvoet & Gerard Holt and Cees Dam. Construction was completed in 1986.
We were called in to carry out our repair service inside the town hall. The current coating no longer met the client's requirements. We found several damaged spots in the coating on the railings of the stairs and the top floor. These were then restored to the correct color and degree of gloss. Now the interior radiates the quality that befits a city hall and opera house.
We are NESTcoat, specialists in surface treatment of metals. We work on the aesthetic and functional protection of metal products at production plants, but we also provide our service on location of the customer. This means we often visit building sights, infrastructural projects, living accommodations and many other places.
