This section has information about its structure and motive behind that.

The conceptual vision of the complex is to reflect the city’s commitment to justice. The building’s exterior features the set of floating cantilevered wings, and at heart is a golden space called ‘Golden Geode.’

The set of cantilevered wings is inspired by the balance of justice, and the golden space between them represents – Justice has nothing to hide. The office space is allocated in the wings, and the central area leads to a plaza through the entryway, where the voices of people are heard.

Every feature of the building symbolizes the scale of justice, be it a solid plaza, golden geode, or floating cantilevered wings. On completion, the building will reflect and support the dual functionality for both government and citizens.

In wanawards.com, the project is excellently explained in two lines:

“In creating a structure that is as beautiful as it is unyielding, as complex as it is transparent, as efficient as it is welcoming, we believe that we have created a building that perfectly reflects Kuwait’s enduring commitment to justice.”
