The Supreme Court of Victoria Upgrade has been featured in an Architecture Australia article about the challenges and issues when modernising facilities while still respecting their heritage.
The upgrade delivers a brand new type of space that presents a modern feeling within a historic nineteenth-century courthouse, the contrast of which is enjoyed by users. Unlike the serenity of the traditional courtrooms, the air is of bustling activity, heavily ornamented by the fittings of contemporary IT and AV technology, with the old fabric left to define the volumes and signal the changes.
