Criminal Court

At the heart of Riyadh, the criminal court stands solely between a group of significant administrative buildings. The 44.6 meter-high cube emerges from an illuminated base that carries out through the slits of the facade. Carving the sandstone panels, tapered slits with heavily recessed windows help diffuse daylight into interiors.
