 The design for the new headquarters of the Mato Grosso do Sul State Court of Justice was guided by a grid that preserves the existing green spaces, with buildings carefully placed around them. Built forms frame the landscape, reinforcing the presence of the vegetation and the integrity of the natural reserve. The orthogonal axes define the spatial organisation.

Views extend across the space: the edifice frames the surrounding landscape. Water and greenery enhance comfort, trees are ever-present. Natural light floods the buildings from top to bottom.
