General view from the       concrete, of the type that can be found in Nazareth’s
south-west, 1999            historical mansions. Those entering the building can
1999 ,‫מראה כללי מדרום־מערב‬  see an open gallery floor that holds the court’s archive,
                            representing transparency and accessibility. The
Southern façade, 1999       courtrooms are situated along the external facades,
1999 ,‫חזית דרומית‬           whereas a system of corridors and waiting areas face
                            the lobby.

                                       As in other projects the firm undertook, here too
                            the interior was designed by the architects themselves.
                            In this case the design is based around a unique and
                            ornamental light fixture, whose various parts hang from
                            an iron frame in regular repetitions that emphasize the
                            depth of the space and its ordered arrangement. The
                            building’s facades are covered limestone in various
                            finishes, whereas internal spaces have a combination of
                            limestone and planks of naturally patterned oak.
