The project is the winner of the national architectural competition for new Building of Anti-corruption Court of Ukraine
We present to your attention the architectural concept of the new building of the Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine, which embodies the symbols of change and reform, and at the same time acts as a bridge between traditions, history and new technologies.
We used our experience and knowledge to embody the concept of combining past and future in the architecture of the building.
The two volumes of the building are different visually and in shape. At the same time, the upper block made of glass and metal, which symbolizes reforms and innovations, is dominant. The lower block of the building, more thorough, has a grid of facade divisions and is decorated with granite, identical to the central facade of the existing building, emphasizing the continuity of forms and materials.
The highest point of the building is 29.45 m, the total height of the operated floors is 26.6 m, it consists of 10 floors, two of which are underground.

The entire volume is divided into two blocks: lower (5 ground and 2 underground) and upper (3 floors). The blocks are interconnected by two vertical communications and a transition on the 3rd floor, which connects the new and existing buildings. Also, to simplify communication and create additional places for rest and work, we propose to create an open staircase and terrace on the site of the atrium and pitched roof in the existing building with access to the main staircase from the central facade from Peremoga Avenue. Panoramic glazing will be installed on both sides of the stairs, increasing the amount of natural light in these areas. Thus, we have created 4 independent ways to get into the new building, 3 of which are a direct connection with the existing one.
The building blocks are divided by functionality. The lower block and its underground part are a common room for court staff and staff: a dining room, a hall for receiving delegations, offices of assistants and staff of the court staff, rooms for drivers and security, etc.
60% of the ground floor area was allocated for parking, where we placed 12 parking spaces inside the building and an additional 15 spaces in the open area. Also on the ground floor there are separate stairs leading to the basement and an entrance for unloading kitchen goods.

In the upper block are all the offices of judges and their assistants.
The structure of the building has two fundamentally different schemes. The lower block is a frame made of monolithic reinforced concrete, the upper block is a metal floor covering suspended from a truss with two rigidity trunks - a new block of vertical communications and a reinforced block of vertical communications in the existing building. To increase the area of glazing and natural light inside the upper block made a through hole.
We used two underground floors as storage for the archive, production and storage rooms of the kitchen. The underground unit is connected by technical elevators to the reading room of the archive and the dining room.

 

Thanks to the chosen design scheme, the fifth floor of the lower block was freed from the columns around the perimeter and opened the view and access to the terrace for relaxing and eating in the warm season.
 
The upper block of the building has mirror glazing and finishing of the lower surface to reduce its visual impact on the environment, all structures of the upper block of the building are located behind the roof slats and sunk relative to the main contour of the block by 2 m. and technical rooms of elevators
