State Courts
The State Courts design features an innovative two towers strategy. One tower is dedicated to the courtrooms, hearing chambers, and court supporting functions while the other tower is to house the judges’ offices, staff offices and support functions. The two high-rise towers are linked by a series of link bridges that enable the controlled circulation necessary for the courtroom process.

Project Details
Representing openness and impartiality
The courtroom tower is an open frame supporting a series of shared terraces on which the courtrooms are placed: it has no external facade. In a metaphorical sense, this represents the openness and impartiality of the judicial process. The outdoor terraces feature high-rise greenery and are designed to allow views across the city, thereby reinforcing the civic role of the building.
