The project sets up the entire plot that is allocated. A massive dark concrete support protects the building on his outskirts and notes significantly this limitation. A cross fault creates a transparency in the concrete support, from the Hector Berlioz street to Paul Vaillant boulevard, opening on theses urban spaces the entry, main space of the project composed by the patio and the hall which is called “salle des pas-perdus” in French.
One of the architectural goals of the project was the natural orientation and immediately of the visitor to the jurisdiction of his choice (commercial-court or labour court). For that, the classical courthouse’s square was replaced by a patio in the middle of the building. From the outside place, even before having entered into the building, the public will identify the main interior spaces:the reception of the 2 jurisdictions, the lost-step room, and the access of the courtrooms.
