The transformation of the Wonder building is designed with great respect for the existing site to draw major advantages from the reconversion of the future Palais de Justice:
– A territorial focus: the SNCF tracks, the hill with the strong relief marked by the Basilica and its steps, the very low Orival district.
– Integration into the city through a transformed volume, a sign of openness to the public, of clarity of the institution.
– A real safety of the secure circuit, a simple organization with obvious functionalities on the ground floor, a hierarchy of the public ascending the floors to the audiences placed in the knowledge of the building to take advantage of the important natural light.
– Contemporary architecture that is based on historical roots, a sign of a continuity of constructed thought, like that of the judicial institution.
