Hertzberger and Aldo van Eyck influenced the development of the Dutch Structuralist movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Among his buildings are the experimental houses known as "Diagoon Houses" (1971), the Montessori school in Delft (1966–70) and the administration building for the Centraal Beheer Insurance Company building in Apeldoorn (1970–72).

Hertzberger has been criticized for the inelegance of the façades of his buildings, and for concentrating on their functions and interiors rather than aesthetics.
