Court of Sant Boi
The building is centred around three vertical bars separated by three courtyards on a plinth. Large skylights illuminate the ground-floor entrance hall. This hall acts as a focus point for all public areas and their vertical nuclei. The hearing rooms and the upper bars, one per room, of the judicial offices are situated on the plinth. Four areas in each corner allow access and communication for the public, judges, court workers etc.
The civil registry office opens out onto the rear street, emphasising the important role it plays in the façade as a whole and the surrounding public area. The concrete sheets are placed at different distances and inclinations, giving a certain dynamic feel (a court should appear agile and alive) to the building, while at the same time orienting and framing the visual impact.
As a result, the image of the façades gradually changes depending on where you look at the building from.
