About the project
—
This project involved the design of a new building with a comprehensive brief to include a fully integrated complex of five district courts, eight magistrates courts, chamber facilities, a secure four-tier circulation system and an integrated watch-house and police station.
Conrad Gargett (formerly as ABM Architects) sought to utilise clear legible functional planning and a sensitivity to the competing demands of circulation, security, natural day lighting and views from all significant and work spaces. The planning was incorporated on a tight inner-city site, resulting in a successful design that was described by the client as ‘intuitive in the way that the building supports the operations and vision of the Justice Department’.
