For the New Breda Court of Justice complex, designed in collaboration with Hootsmans Architectuurbureau, we set out to create a welcoming, friendly and timeless environment without detracting from the authoritative nature of the courthouse. A carefully considered stacking and interior layout creates human environments with enhanced visual and physical connections throughout, and a spatial sequencing that provides clarity to the circulation. Large voids with connecting staircases encourage a natural, vertical migration of users throughout the floors of this tall building. The use of a calming palette of colours, bespoke timber joinery and a careful selection of furniture pieces together enhance the visual appearance of the spaces. A strong emphasis has been given to creating human environments. The public areas and courtrooms occupy the lowest floors of the complex. The Courtrooms, with their oak framed glass partitions and oak joinery elements, use colour within the furniture upholstery and acoustic curtains to give each room its own identity, whilst connecting with the surrounding waiting areas and the landscape beyond. This Colour Palette theme of natural pastel tones is then applied throughout the large building to provide a consistent visual link between the floors and maintain a sense of familiarity for the users as they move around.
