House of Justice / Civic Centre + Police Station

House of Justice – The House of Justice serves as a two storey civic centre for the people of Mestia, a village with a strong cultural heritage. Its concrete structure frames the spectacular landscape of the Caucasian Mountains. The building is part of an ensemble of new public buildings around the main central public plaza.

Police Station – The project is situated in the heart of the old town of Mestia, next to the newly built city-hall. Its towerlike shape pays homage to the medieval stone towers which are traditional to Mestia's mountainside region. The façade is comprised of prefabricated textured concrete and large openings which offer a maximum of transparency.
