Twelve courtrooms, one shaded public route, and a waiting hall that behaves like a street rather than a corridor.

Six bays of fifty seats, each lit from two sides, so that quiet is produced by geometry rather than supervision.

Three hundred beds arranged so that families, staff and emergencies never share the same door.

The smallest public building most citizens ever enter, given a veranda, a bench and shade.

Nine hundred seats above a foyer that stays open to the town when the hall is dark.

Six hundred and forty metres of river edge rebuilt in basalt, designed to be submerged four months a year.

Forty bays under one deep roof, planned so that a waiting passenger is never more than ten metres from shade.

Eight classrooms around a hard courtyard, built by local masons in load-bearing stone.

An infrastructure building given a public face, so the town can see where its water is made clean.
