This architectural approach seeks to occupy all available space. It is asserted by its obvious longitudinal development which underlines the imposing character of the building's volumetry.
In a marked search for integration with the highway, this architectural parti somewhat sacrifices the qualitative organization of the interior spaces adjacent to the highway. Moreover, the linearity of this design tends to give a severe aspect to the long street façade of this building. Although well treated, this façade lacks some articulation.
However, the treatment of the roofs put forward in this parti presents a certain reminder of Quebec architectural archetypes, which few projects have thought to exploit.
The Jury also noted the quality of the longitudinal mall, a sort of interior street parallel to the exterior street that links the various functions of the courthouse.
The reception of the pedestrians received a quality treatment in its hall, its mall and its garden courtyard, although the elements of interest are located on the side of the highway.
The Jury noted the good functional organization of the main body of the building and especially the elegant segregation of the three main sectors of the Judicial Administration.
