J. Mayer H. Completes Transparent, Tree-Inspired Court of Justice in Hasselt



J. Mayer H. Architects’ recently completed Court of Justice in Hasselt, Belgium is now ready to lay down the law. Designed with the help of a2o Architecten and Lens°Ass Architecten, the new Court of Justice is a transparent public building that contains courtrooms and educational spaces. The exterior features a perforated skin that shades the interior from solar heat gain while still allowing plenty of daylight inside. Inspired by the hazelnut tree, the office tower features a branched facade that gives a nod to the city’s rich industrial past.





The original plan was designed by West 8 and it sits next to light rail station.



J. Mayer H. completed the exterior of the building in 2011, and building officially opens to the public on September 13, 2013.
